Why does my waist hurt after lying down for a long time?

As the saying goes, standing is not as good as sitting, and sitting is not as good as lying down. Lying down is a very popular way of resting, and people also sleep in a lying position. Lying down is actually a very comfortable thing, but some people regard lying down as a torture, and they will suffer from back pain after lying down for a long time. In this case, people need to understand it and then adjust it. The following will introduce why back pain occurs after lying down for a long time.

This situation is considered to be lumbar muscle strain, which is generally manifested as pain in the lumbar muscles. The pain worsens after standing or sleeping for a long time. It is generally caused by incorrect sitting posture and lumbar muscle injury. It is recommended that you do not sit or stand for long periods of time, bend over or lift heavy objects for long periods of time, wear a waist belt to protect your lumbar spine, do small swallow flying or five-point support exercises to exercise your back muscles, use Voltaren ointment or Yunnan Baiyao aerosol externally, take oral analgesic capsules to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and use a hot water bag to heat the painful area. Generally, the condition will improve after half a month of treatment.

Nursing measures:

1: Sleep on a hard bed. Sleeping on a firm bed can reduce the pressure on the intervertebral discs.

2. Keep your waist warm and try not to catch cold. Avoid catching cold and overeating raw and cold food. Don't stay under the air conditioner for a long time, as this is not good for your waist! Strengthen the protection of your waist and back.

3: Wearing a waist belt (waist support belt) around your waist during the day is beneficial to the recovery of your lumbar spine.

4. Do not bend over or do strenuous movements (such as mopping the floor...) Pay attention to your working posture, avoid bending over for long periods of time and excessive weight bearing, so as not to accelerate the degeneration of the intervertebral disc.

5. Try to stay in bed and rest during the acute attack period. Also, pay attention to proper rest after the pain period is relieved. Do not overwork to avoid aggravating the pain.

6. In your daily diet, eat more foods high in calcium, such as milk, dairy products, dried shrimps, kelp, sesame paste, and soy products are also rich in calcium. Eating them regularly is also beneficial for calcium supplementation. Pay attention to the nutritional structure.

Seven: You should also pay attention to (patients with bone hyperplasia and lumbar disc herniation):

1. Maintain good living habits to prevent your waist and legs from getting cold and avoid excessive fatigue.

2. Stand or sit in the correct posture. An abnormal spinal column can cause uneven stress on the intervertebral discs, which is a hidden cause of intervertebral disc herniation. The correct posture should be "stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell", with the chest lifted and the waist straight. The same posture should not be maintained for too long. Appropriate in-place activities or waist and back exercises can relieve fatigue in the waist and back muscles.

3. Do not stretch your legs or bend your waist too much when exercising, otherwise it will not only fail to achieve the desired purpose, but also cause a herniated disc.

4. Do not bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should squat down first to pick up the heavy object, then stand up slowly, trying not to bend over.
