Well, I should have been a been clearer on that, I did not actually mean to stay in bed all day for a few days, I meant not doing anything to stress the already strained back muscles ( I have been known to do something crazy like trying to go back out and pull more weeds thinking it would help) believe it or not in some other cases of sore muscles repeating what caused the soreness in the first place actually did relieve the pain (didn't work with weeding). I agree, laying around for several days and not getting up is not good!
