Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion You also need an X Ray of your hip joint. secondly continue with Altraday, but in my opinion you do not need dulane 30. third do not wear the LS belt at rest, you may use it only when walking and if you are comfortable without it then stop using this.
take care of your back, do not lift heavy weight with bent spine, also do spinal muscle strengthening exercises daily.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
