Default activities

I'd walk tho not too much and nothing strenuous. Even sitting too long can upset an aggravated anular tear. You might ask if they have Toradol injections 60mg as that helps to alleviate the muscle spasms that the chain reaction sets off re disc material leaking out on spinal nerve then the muscular trying to guard and be protective and so spasming. Toradol is a non steroidal antiinflammatory medication so if you don't have problems with Nsaids or kidney probs an injection shouldn't hurt and may help.

I too am sorry to read that this has happened during your vacation and this type of thing has happened to me as well being in another country while hiking and such and I basically had to rest till the acute part of the episode passed and then resume gentle walking but not more strenuous activities.
