My wife felt a catch in her lower back two days ago while making the bed. She's applied Volini ointment and used a capsicum band, but recovery is slow. What else can she do for faster relief?
This sounds like a muscle strain in the lower back. Along with Volini and the capsicum band, she should rest her back, avoid bending or lifting, and use warm compresses 2 to 3 times a day. Gentle stretching can be started once the pain reduces. If the pain is severe or not improving in a few days, she should see a doctor for further evaluation.
