St. Petersburg advised to lie down with bent legs when shooting the lower back

Pain in different parts of the body periodically makes you resort to methods of stress relief. However, doctors do not recommend warming and trying to stretch the lower back if it “shots through”. This was reported in argumenti.ru.

This condition is called lumbago - acute low back pain. It occurs suddenly, for example after lifting weight or awkward movement. At this point, the muscles spasm and any sudden movement causes pain.

The main mistake doctors called trying to warm the painful area. A hot bath and heating pad can increase swelling and inflammation, especially if the cause of the pain was a herniated disc or pinched nerve. Also, do not do a hard lumbar massage: aggressive exposure can aggravate the situation.

To relieve pain, experts recommend rest and rest. You need to take a position in which the lower back does not bother. Most often, this position is lying on your side with bent legs or on your back with a roller under your knees. If the pain does not go away for several days, you need to consult a doctor.
