Very limited activity. Half hour max sitting, then 20 minutes standing. Pain is tolerable now (4 months). Sleep like a log though.

Activity made my pain worse so I was put out of work after a month

takes at least 5 days before pain eases up. never get 100 percent relief from bedrest. very boring and lonely to lie in bed for days.
