How soon can you exercise after surgery for a herniated lumbar disc with steel staples?

After lumbar disc herniation surgery with steel nailing, you can usually get out of bed and walk with the help of lumbar support in 3~5 days after the surgery, and it takes more than 3~6 months to completely get out of the support for exercise. Lumbar disc herniation nail surgery is a traditional surgical method, in which steel nails are driven above and below the bones, fixed in the lumbar vertebrae, and spinal fusion surgery is carried out to strengthen the stability of the lumbar vertebrae, and the lumbar and thoracic braces or lumbar circumferences are matched with outside braces, and according to the individual’s physical condition and postoperative situation, the braces can be worn for 3~5 days to gradually get out of bed and move around. However, getting out of bed in 3~5 days is only a rehabilitation exercise, not a return to normal walking or exercise as usual, and bending, hunching, and weight bearing should be avoided. Surgical fusion usually takes 3~6 months, and rest is the main focus in the first 3~6 months, and normal exercise can be performed only after the bones have healed. Depending on the individual’s physical condition and surgery, the time to go down to the ground is not the same, and it is recommended to go down to the ground under the guidance of the doctor.
