A herniated lumbar disc may have long-term complications after surgery, or what the people call sequelae. There are several common complications as follows: 1. Long-term pain in the lower back may be left behind. This pain is often due to scarring and adhesions caused by the surgery. Once it occurs, it will often be manifested as a vague localized pain in the lower back and may be aggravated when it rains on cloudy days, when it is cold, or when it is overworked. 2. There may be accelerated degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. Whether or not surgery is done, this situation is possible because lumbar disc herniation itself is a manifestation of degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. When surgery is performed, only the compressive irritants around the nerve roots are removed, while the underlying pathological changes, such as lumbar spine osteophytes, ligamentous hypertrophy, calcification, and degeneration of the disc itself, are unchanged. After this there is a risk of accelerated degeneration, which then causes the patient to experience lumbar pain, weakness, and limited activity.3. Recurrence of lumbar disc herniation may occur. This is often due to the acceleration of degeneration of the lumbar spine, followed by the intensification of the above-mentioned factors, such as the intensification of osteophytes, hypertrophy of ligaments or renewed protrusion of the intervertebral disc, then the symptoms associated with the herniated disc may reappear.
