How long to recuperate from minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation and nerve compression surgery

Minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation with pinched nerve usually requires about 2 months of recuperation. If it is a simple single-segment herniated disc, the postoperative recovery is relatively fast, you can walk normally in 2~3 weeks, try to go to work or do housework in 4~6 weeks, and recover to the normal range in 1~2 months. If the herniated disc is combined with fibrous ring injury, lumbar spinal stenosis or lumbar spondylolisthesis, etc., the postoperative recovery is relatively slower, and it usually takes 3~4 weeks to be able to walk on the ground, and 2~3 months to recover to the normal level. It is also important to note that recovery time may be prolonged for people with osteoporosis, older age, and underweight. Recuperation time for minimally invasive lumbar herniated disc compression surgery varies from person to person, and if symptoms such as persistent pain and swelling occur during recovery, prompt medical attention is required to avoid changes in your condition.
