I took unnecessary ls spine xray ap and lateral 2 views for simple muscle pain. After that I am in fear that I actually had highest radiation in xray category for ls spine. That too I had 2 views. How much I had radiation for 2 views. And I am in fear as xray are carcinogenic which causes cancer in later years!

There is no need to worry, it's insignificant. Avoid unnecessary xrays and ct scan, without proper consultation from experts.

Don't worry. It will not harm. Recurrent xray may harm.

2 exposures are safe unless you are pregnant. Do not repeat X ray soon.
