3. Strain Positions
Any type of position that puts your muscles under strain for a long period of time can lead to muscle cramps, and done for too long (or too suddenly) it can even lead to serious muscle injuries such as a sprain or tear. This is common, and it affects thousands of people every year – thousands more people experience injuries so severe that it puts them in the emergency room and can be a nagging issue for the rest of their lives from there.
If you experience pain or discomfort in your back, legs, neck or shoulders while sitting down or standing up, know that your body is experiencing strain and take a break, apply heat or change your position to get the discomfort to go away. Sometimes the use of NSAIDs or anti-inflammatory medication can also help to relieve the condition, and if not, take a look at the type of bed you’re using.
