<s>[INST] Sir, I have been diagnosed as lumbar spondylosis.  Problem is with L-5 and I had severe pain in the lower bottom for two days.  Immediately consulted a Sr.Ortho and was hospitalised for pelvic treatment.  I did undergo physiotherapy and traction for six days.  Now the pain is considerably subsided.  I have some queries regarding the dos and donts. 1.  Is two wheeler riding considered a total ban in my case.  I am wearing a belt on doctors recommendation.2.Is climbing steps a ban in my case.  I am working as Administrative Officer in an organisation.  I used to carry my office bag in the shoulder.  Is it allowed in my case. 3. I used to walk for about three miles in a day.  For the last one month I am not going for a walk fearing that the pain may get aggravated.  Can I walk. SATHISH KUMAR [/INST] two-wheeler is considerably banned in your case reason is simple in bike we are always trunk forward and potholes or speed breaker can increase your pain and nerve compression climbing steps is ok but considering you lookout your posture. Too much stooping while climbing can cause pain would not suggest 3 miles a day... you can walk a mile or so if you want above all first get yourself relieved from pain via exercises with physiotherapist. Then this precautions will help for sure. For further queries you can contact anytime </s>
