First: the appearance of lumbocrural pain is caused by the compression of nerve root, so in order to prevent the damage of nerve root, it is necessary to lie absolutely on the hard bed and reduce the friction and compression of nerve root as far as possible. If you can persist, even if you urinate and defecate in bed, this process can be reduced to 3-5 days, and good results can be achieved.

Second: then lying in bed at the same time can cooperate with local closed treatment. Local block can directly act on the injured nerve root, the effect is faster and more direct.
