Is it normal to have pain in the buttocks when lying down after minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation?

Lumbar disc herniation minimally invasive surgery after lying buttock pain is generally normal.
The pain in the buttocks when lying down after minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation surgery is mostly due to the temporary compression of the nerves caused by slight bleeding and edema in the area after the surgery. After the bleeding and edema subside, the compression of the nerves will be lifted, and the symptoms of buttock pain will be relieved naturally.
Therefore, although minimally invasive surgery is less traumatic, there is still the possibility of bleeding, to ensure that reasonable rest after surgery can make the surgical site better recovery and healing, to stop bleeding and reduce the formation of hematoma.
Inevitably, the nerve will be pulled or pinched during the surgery, which will also lead to postoperative pain in the buttocks when lying down. Postoperative physical therapy or the use of nutritive nerve medication, such as methylcobalamin, can be performed to enhance nerve nutrition and promote recovery.
Lumbar disc herniation minimally invasive postoperative lying buttock pain is recommended to timely communicate with the doctor, under the guidance of the doctor to clarify whether there is compression, give targeted treatment and therapy.
