You don't have to worry, It may bothers you but it isn't something risky
Anyway to avoid complications you should put a lumbar fortress use pain killers if pain persist.
The numbness on your feet is caused from compression that disc do a nerve roots, it can go way if you use lumbar fortress for a long time
