Don't mean to tell you what to do (none of my business), but in case you are close to 40 or over like alot of other forumites, PLEASE do not stay in bed for 2-3 days. You are at significant risk for blood clots to form by being that sedentary. Please google DVT (deep venous thrombosis or deep vein clot in lay terms) to understand my concern. If you do not have any reasons not to take aspirin (allergy or active/recent ulcer primarily), then start taking at least 81mg aspirin a day while incapacitated. I don't want to read about your demise from a pulmonary embolus.
And, just FYI, has been proven by multiple studies that bed rest is the worst thing for acute back pain.... just sayin'
Sincerely wishing you get better soon!
