Should I be resting or moving?
After 48 hours
- You should try to use the painful area more.
- Do whatever you normally would and stay at, or return to work. This is important and the best way to get better.
- Avoid sports or heavy lifting until you have less discomfort and good movement.
- If your injury is in your leg you can reduce the strain on it by:
- Leading with your good leg when going upstairs.
- Leading with your problem leg when going downstairs.
- Using a handrail if there is one.
