Depending on the type of lumbar disc herniation surgery, the time to get off the ground differs. Minimally invasive surgery can be done on the second day, while open surgery can be done for at least a week. After the lumbar disc herniation, there will be local bleeding and pain due to the trauma of the surgery, so early bed rest is needed for about a week, during which blood-activating and pain-relieving drugs can be applied, and flat axle turning is needed during bed rest to avoid sitting up. After the pain mostly disappears after a week, you can wear lumbar support to move on the ground. Moving on the ground can improve the function of heart and lungs, prevent the formation of venous thrombosis in lower limbs and help the recovery of lumbar spine. You should not walk too much at the beginning, and gradually resume the activity gradually. In the case of minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation, you can go down to the ground on the 2nd day after the surgery under the protection of lumbar support, because it is minimally invasive surgery, less bleeding and less trauma, so the recovery is faster. In addition, patients with lumbar disc herniation should avoid standing or sitting for a long time after recovery to avoid re-protrusion of the lumbar disc.
