Having been diagnosed with two bulging discs in my lower back and previously treated with Acenac MR, now that my back and traveling leg pain has returned, should I start physical therapy or try bed rest?
Dealing with bulging discs can be frustrating, but please be reassured that this is highly manageable. Generally, prolonged bed rest is no longer recommended, as it can stiffen your muscles and delay recovery. Instead, gentle activity and structured physical therapy are much more effective for healing. Since you are experiencing traveling leg pain, it is very important to be evaluated by your doctor or a physical therapist before starting. They can safely guide your recovery and discuss if restarting a medication like Acenac MR (aceclofenac/muscle relaxant) is appropriate for you right now.
