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.

It’s common to experience slow recovery with a lower back strain, especially after a sudden movement like making the bed. Along with continuing the use of Volini gel and the capsicum band, she can try gentle rest and avoid heavy lifting or twisting movements to prevent further strain.

Additional steps for faster relief:

  • Apply a warm compress or take warm baths after the initial 48 hours to relax muscles and improve blood flow.
  • Perform gentle stretching exercises for the lower back, avoiding any that cause pain.
  • Maintain good posture while sitting and standing to reduce pressure on the back.
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can be considered if pain is significant, but consult a doctor before starting any medication.
  • If pain persists beyond a week, worsens, or is accompanied by numbness, weakness, or bladder issues, she should see an orthopedic specialist promptly.

If you want, I can explain some simple back stretches or posture tips that might help. Meanwhile, consulting an orthopedic doctor would be advisable for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please enter your age.
