Dear patient
It seems you have got back stiffness due to rest. Since you were under treatment for pneumonia in hospital you must be on rest which might lead to muscle stiffness and pain. You need physiotherapy with back extension and back strengthening exercises and do hot water fomentation for your back. If you are feeling better with hifenac mr you can continue it. Dosage is twice a day for 5 days. All the best
