back injury recovery tips?
I busted my back last week on a dodgy squat lift. walking sucks, bending sucks, everything sucks. I've booked an appointment with my physio for next week, but do y'all have any advice on dealing with the flare-up in the mean time?

Please don't let us convince you of anything as if it's medical advice cause nobody on the Internet knows I'm a dog and I can simply spread misinformation because I think it's funny.
I'd want ice and compression. Probably laying out, doing stretching but not until it's painful. Maybe consider swimming if you have a pool available to you. Maybe take ibuprofen according to the manufacturer's instructions unless otherwise directed by a medical professional. Try to minimize walking as to not do more damage to it. I don't think there's much you can do besides common sense advice. I hurt my knee recently and my intention is to just suffer through it and seek medical assistance if it starts getting dramatically worse.
