How long can you rest from a herniated lumbar disc

In patients with lumbar disc herniation, the rest time is about two months, but the specific situation has to be analyzed. In some patients, the treatment effect and the recovery effect are so good that the rest time can be reduced appropriately, and in a month or so, they can go down to the ground and walk normally, and can undertake light daily work. If the effect of treatment is not satisfactory and the recovery is not good, local pain and dysfunction will occur and rest and regular treatment should be continued. For example, if the patient has not recovered at the end of three months, there will be local dysfunction and pain, and the patient will not be able to work or walk on the ground normally. Therefore, the rest time for lumbar disc herniation, generally speaking, is about two months, but also according to the specific situation to decide, some patients have mild symptoms, rest 3-4 weeks can also be normal to walk and undertake daily light work.
