What should I do if I can’t get out of bed because of back pain?

There are many reasons why you can’t get up from bed with back pain, such as heavy physical labor, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, etc. Its treatment usually includes medication, physical therapy, surgery, etc. 1. Heavy physical labor: you can rest in bed, or use painkillers such as celecoxib, or diclofenac diethylamide cream. You can also wear lumbar support, acupuncture, physical therapy and so on. 2. Lumbar disc herniation: When the pain is simple, oral painkillers, such as ampicillin tablets and nimesulide capsules, can be used. Dehydrating agents, such as mannitol, can also be used in the acute stage to reduce the symptoms of localized nerve root edema. Intramuscular medications such as dizocin injection may also be used. Physical therapy such as acupuncture, massage, and traction may also be used. Surgery may be required in severe cases. 3. Lumbar muscle strain: first of all, bed rest is recommended. When the pain is simple, you can take the above painkillers orally, and you can also choose topical drugs with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, such as indomethacin ointment, etc. The above drugs should be used under doctor’s supervision. These drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor. If you are unable to get up from bed because of back pain, and if you do not feel better after resting in bed, it is recommended that you consult a doctor.
