Can you recover from a herniated disk at 18

Lumbar disc herniation is very difficult to cure, and can only be relieved by general conservative treatment, or surgical treatment in the vast majority of cases. 1. Conservative treatment: the main way is bed rest (the latest guidelines suggest that patients can be encouraged to perform normal daily activities when they are able to do so, but they should avoid prolonged sitting and bending). 2. Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Celecoxib) to relieve pain, and decongestants to reduce edema (e.g., Mazolam). The use of medication should always be under the supervision of a doctor. 3. Surgical treatment: If it cannot be relieved or even aggravated after 2~3 months of conservative treatment, surgical treatment can also be used. Surgical treatment mainly includes traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery, lumbar artificial disc replacement and other ways.
