Lower back pain
I had an X-ray due to back pain, which showed swelling in the lower portion and degenerative problems associated with the disc. Should I take complete rest, or can I continue working since I sit for 8 hours a day due to my job? Is it okay to continue this type of work, or do I need some rest for a complete recovery from my back pain? I cannot tolerate the pain.
