I imagine that your questions will be answered by the specialist. Are you seeing an orthopedic surgeon? Or a chiropractor? Or who?

Your doctor has asked that you avoid lifting objects to eliminate the possibility of further injury. Until you have a treatment plan, it's better to be safe than sorry.
