I presume from your history that you have opted for conservative treatment. Now that 2 months have passed you can increase the time spent sitting and standing plus walking on a regular basis. The muscles need to start working to strengthen after this rest. This process will be with pain but as they say 'no pain, no gain'.
Next Steps
start doing daily activities and strength muscles from them to begin with. once they are comfortable then you can take targeted exercise.
