After having minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation plus lumbar spinal stenosis compressing the sciatic nerve pain, you can usually go up and down the stairs in 3-5 days, and you need to postpone going up and down the stairs if you have a poor recovery. If the current lumbar disc herniation, as well as lumbar spinal stenosis compression of the sciatic nerve after minimally invasive surgery recovery is good, and the pain is relatively mild, does not affect the normal activities, generally 3-5 days can go up and down the stairs. However, it is necessary to limit the amount of activities in the initial period so as not to affect the recovery of the disease by overstrain. Some patients are in poor physical condition, so the recovery from minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation as well as lumbar spinal stenosis that compresses the sciatic nerve is not good, and it may take longer to recover, so the time of going up and down the stairs needs to be postponed to avoid premature weight-bearing that compresses the nerves. If the patient has already had surgery for lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis, he or she should rest and avoid strenuous exercise and overly strenuous housework for a short period of time.
