No, one must not completely stop moving. Staying in bed can lead to ankylosis and loss of muscle mass. What is necessary is to pace activities. One must alternate between the active periods with rest and ensure the pain does not increase significantly. In addition, some exercises adapted to the condition can help recover in less time.
It is not necessary to pass an x-ray or another radiological exam before consulting a physical therapist. During the first visit, the professional evaluates the condition to determine the problem’s origin. If he judges that a medical test is recommended, he will then be able to suggest it to your doctor.
