Prolonged bed rest is not what you think.. I am on my feet now and still having issues with my tired feet. Had to search the Net to find out what prolonged bed rest does and was shocked to know the truth
"Bed rest" may sound like a gentle, healing process, but this is deceptive. Our bodies are made to move, and multiple problems quickly start to set in even after a couple of days of immobility.

I know all about the negative effects of staying in bed too long. When I was in the hospital for 3 months, I lost all my muscle strength and when I came home, I could not even go upstairs on my legs, I had to do it on my buttom.
