Is it normal to have calf pain 10 days after minimally invasive surgery for a herniated lumbar disc compressing a nerve?

Lumbar disc herniation compression nerve minimally invasive surgery 10 days calf pain may be caused by postoperative sequelae, which is an abnormal phenomenon. If leg pain occurs after minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery, it may be postoperative leg pain caused by reactive edema of lumbar spine nerve root. As the surgery relieves the compression of the lumbar nerve root, the blood supply to the nerve root is normalized and the nerve root may have a transient reactive edema. The heavier and longer the compression of the nerve root before surgery, the greater the likelihood that reactive edema will occur after surgery. Leg pain caused by such reactive edema can be relieved by standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician. If the calf pain after minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation and nerve compression is not relieved by the above treatment or the pain lasts for a long time, it may be caused by other reasons, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the examination and find out the cause in order to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
