How long does it take to recover from a herniated lumbar disc with spinal stenosis?

Lumbar disc herniation with spinal stenosis is a manifestation of lumbar degeneration, usually through conservative treatment can relieve clinical symptoms but not cure, need to be treated with surgery, usually about 3 months to recover, but the specific recovery time is also related to the patient’s condition and the specific circumstances of the surgery. Lumbar disc herniation with spinal stenosis usually compresses the spinal cord in the spinal canal, which causes numbness and pain in the lower limbs, and even claudication. Conservative treatment can be used first, and if the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment needs to be considered. After surgery, patients should rest in bed, not to bear weight too early to avoid causing lumbar spine injury, and actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out rehabilitation training. Usually, the bone heals in about 3 months, and the patient can have normal activities and life, but the patient should avoid stooping, bearing weight and other heavy labor, and should not carry out strenuous exercise. If the patient is physically weak or has osteoporosis, the bone healing may take longer and the recovery time will be delayed. Patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with spinal stenosis should go to the hospital in time for examination and targeted treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease.
