My husband has been dealing with this really painful back issue for a year now. His MRI and X-ray show there's a gap between his L4 and L5 joints. He's been doing regular exercises and swimming, which helps sometimes, but the pain can still get really intense. We've seen doctors before, but we're desperate for a permanent solution. Any advice on what we can do?

Ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working or sitting or walking....Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.

I recently had an accident on June 23rd, and they put a plaster on my injury that same day. I'm trying to figure out how many days of bed rest I might need before I can start going back to the office. Can you give me some guidance on when it might be safe to return to work?
Bed rest is advised for 6 weeks to the patient.
