Is it normal to have sore legs after lumbar spine surgery

Leg soreness is normal after lumbar spine surgery. It is mostly considered to be caused by the following two reasons: 1. After lumbar spine surgery, you need to stay in bed for a long time, and the muscles are in a state of tension, which will cause soreness over time. It can be relieved by massage and acupressure. 2. After lumbar spine surgery, although the compression of the nerve root is lifted, but the edema and inflammation still need some time to eliminate, so there will still be sore legs. If the pain is severe, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and celecoxib can be taken to relieve the pain. 3. Consider the phenomenon of sore legs after lumbar spine surgery which has damaged the nerves. There may be other reasons for leg pain after lumbar spine surgery, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
