Doctors advise getting up if your back hurts while resting because it can help alleviate stiffness and discomfort caused by muscle tightness and poor posture. When you lie still for extended periods, your muscles lose flexibility, and upon standing, they pull on the spine and surrounding tissues, causing pain. Getting up and moving can help release the tension and improve blood flow to the affected area. Additionally, maintaining regular movement can help keep your muscles flexible and strong, reducing the risk of stiffness and discomfort.

Healing​

The healing process typically involves several stages, including inflammation, tissue repair, and remodeling. Pain can be a part of these stages, signaling the need for care and attention. For example, during the inflammatory phase, pain may be more pronounced as the body works to repair damaged tissues.

So, it seems to me if one gets up because of pain it actually interrupts the healing process, which can itself be painful.

I recall the intense discomfort I felt all over during a three-day complete fast back in the day. I could have relieved the misery by breaking off the fast, but I wouldn't have received the benefits of it. I stuck it out and the misery abated and when I did break the fast, I was a new man. The best three days of misery I've ever experienced.

Yes, just from my personal experience at being laid up for ten years.

In my experience, except in the extreme case of a critical injury for which movement could cause permanent damage; when something is hurting, movement brings blood to the area and keeps the body well oiled.

The old saying "slow down, live longer" only applies to heavy physical workload (which I have experienced at times in my life), especially with age. In general, once you slow down, your body decides it does not have a purpose anymore.

It's been chilly here at night, so last night I threw a log on the fire place and laid flat on my back with two fluffy pillows under my head and watched a movie.

It felt great just laying flat on the floor on my back.

Yes, I can't sit or stand too long, or I have a hard time moving.

You were misery. The best part of three days of misery. You can handle misery. You are a great man.

You have nice cover.

The longer you sit the worse it gets. You gotta get up and move around.

back problems have a middle ground .. sometimes those with back problems take yrs of dealing with said problem to find that middle ground .. they find the maximum amount of exercise they can do , walking , resistance training ECT .. and the maximum amount of rest they should have without overdoing said things ..

Most back problems are muscular and respond to rest. Skeletal/spinal is a more serious matter.

The older one gets the more important it is to lift as heavy as humanly possible. Walk or run more miles than ever. Pain while running is acceptable.

I use light weights. My muscles could take heavier weights but I'm not sure my joints can.

Older joints are just as viable as younger joints.

You gotta load your skeleto-muscular system to make it strong. It can help keep you from breaking bones, too.

Yes and yes. Doesn't have to be heavy but light helps with mobility plus stability.

I have a lot of arthritis in my lower spine. I have an electric scooter I got free from the VA, but I walk a bit every day for exercise.

Walking moderately with a cane, while keep the back straight & moving slowly, is good for the back.

Swimming is good exercise too. For people with lower back trouble, swim on your side (moderately). Looks funny, but its just as good exercise. That + a healthy diet is what keeps me young. Picture in my avatar was taken just 2 years ago, and I still look like that - I'm 80 years old.
