Rest up, Claire, and follow the doc's orders! Ya just don't mess around when it comes to your back! <nudge-nudge to Rose! ;-p>
I bet I have the same meds...they do help after a couple days, but the knock me loopy or out cold, depending on when I've eaten and what time of day it is! lol
Claire take care, Physio is a great thing, that is where I worked before I retired.
Just rest and take med , then if physio is needed it certainly is an option, and it does help. Hugs Joann Take Hot water bottle or heating pad to bed with you.
