I strained my back while mountain climbing. what will help me, resting or keep moving?

Back strain: If you strained your back means muscle and ligament strain. Usually short rest, tylenol, (acetaminophen) pain patch or cold compress & massage take care of it. Keep your activities of daily living as normal as you can. If it is unbearable , please see your doctor. Thanks.
