    Namaste Amit, 

    congratulations - 

    I cannot answer your question... did you ask your doctor? is it possible you misunderstood him/her?  

    Isn't it great to have that pain gone??

    take care and try not to overdo it, okay 

    big warm hug

    renee

    Maybe he meant you should go and rest with your legs up on a bed for a set time each day. That's what was told to do, for a period of 6 weeks. I enjoyed my hour of bed rest!

    He suggested12 weeks bedrest? You might call the office and give a status update. He might have special concerns with you that we do not know about. Its better to error on the side of safety. Be well. Be careful😌
