It is recommended not to drive within three months after minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation, and after three months of surgery, depending on the recovery situation, you can consider driving. However, cab drivers or coach drivers need to pay attention to: (1) adjust the seat, backrest and seat as far as possible to maintain at about 100 degrees seat back against their waist, so that the lumbar muscles are supported; and adjust the height between the seat and the steering wheel. (2) wear a lumbar brace when driving; put a lumbar cushion on the seat. (3) Try to avoid driving continuously for too long. If you drive 1-2 hours, stop halfway, get out of the car and do some simple waist relaxation exercises. (4) Pay attention to the lumbar area to keep warm. Low temperature or cold can cause small blood vessel contraction, muscle spasm, so that the pressure on the intervertebral disc increases, which may cause degenerative disc rupture. Do not adjust the air conditioning temperature in the car too low. (5) When passing uneven roads, be sure to slow down through to reduce bumps. Other precautions: (1) Quit smoking Postoperative smoking is prohibited for patients with lumbar disc herniation, not only for the patient himself, but also for second-hand smoke as much as possible. On the one hand, smoking will make the blood vessels constrict, affecting the blood supply, which in turn affects the recovery of the patient after surgery; on the other hand, the nucleus pulposus, which plays the role of a “spring” in the intervertebral disc, contains a lot of water. Smoking will accelerate the water loss and make the nucleus pulposus lose its elasticity, at this time, the nucleus pulposus without the protection of water can easily be “crowded out”, that is, the re-emergence of lumbar disc herniation. (2) Female patients will use yoga as an auxiliary treatment, but when practicing yoga, bending forward, hooking the feet, holding the knees and other movements are still not recommended. Of course, movements that require bending over, such as sit-ups, should not be done either. It is also recommended that female patients wear high heels as little as possible after surgery, because when walking in high heels, the force of the intervertebral disc will be greater than when walking normally, when the balance of the waist is out of balance and the pressure on the waist is not conducive to post-operative rehabilitation; if you must wear them, you can wait until three months after the surgery.
