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..
