If you do not have any pain in your legs or your back then its a good sign for you.. Just use lumbosacral (LS) belt for 1 more month.. Avoid bending forwards and lifting heavy weight.. CONTACT immediately if pain increases or worsens.. It can be a dangerous sign.. Take care..!!
Next Steps
Watch for pain for 4 weeks more..
