Hello,
I have studied your case.
I will advise you MRI spine and if there is any cord compression with lower limb weakness .
If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient
Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
