As a result of driving with a bad posture of the waist for too long, long-term sitting, bumps and vibration, lumbar intervertebral discs are subjected to excessive and repeated changes in the pressure, which can accelerate the degeneration of the discs leading to herniation. If the situation is serious and the strict conservative treatment is ineffective, patients can choose surgical treatment. So, is it suitable to drive after lumbar disc herniation surgery? After three months of lumbar disc herniation surgery, you can consider driving according to the recovery situation. However, cab drivers or long-distance bus drivers need to pay attention to: 1, adjust the seat, the backrest and the seat as far as possible to maintain at about 100 degrees seat back should be against their own waist, so that the lumbar muscles to be supported; and to adjust the height between the seat and the steering wheel. 2.Wear a waist cushion when driving; put a lumbar cushion on the seat. 3.Try to avoid driving continuously for too long. If you need to drive for a long time, it is recommended to stop the car halfway to take a rest and do some simple relaxation exercises for the waist. 4, pay attention to the waist to keep warm. Try not to set the temperature of the cab too low, low temperature or cold can cause small blood vessel contraction, muscle spasm, so that the pressure of the intervertebral disc increases, may cause degeneration of the intervertebral disc rupture. 5.When passing uneven road surface, make sure to slow down to pass and reduce the bumps. Other postoperative precautions after lumbar disc herniation are based on functional exercises, and there is no need for other auxiliary treatments. Traction, a conservative treatment often heard of by patients, is not necessary if the patient has already been relieved of lumbar spine compression through surgery. Smoking is prohibited after surgery for patients with lumbar disc herniation, not only the patients themselves can’t smoke, but also try not to smoke even second-hand smoke. On the one hand, smoking will make the blood vessels contract, affecting the blood supply, which in turn affects the recovery of the patient after surgery; on the other hand, the intervertebral discs play a “spring” role in the nucleus pulposus, which contains a lot of water. Smoking will accelerate the loss of water, so that the nucleus pulposus loses its elasticity, and at this time, the nucleus pulposus, which is not protected by water, will easily be “crowded out”, i.e., herniated lumbar discs will occur again. Many female patients use yoga as an adjunctive therapy, but when practicing yoga, bending forward, hooking the feet, holding the knees and other actions are still not recommended. Of course, sit-ups and other movements that require bending at the waist should not be done either. It is also recommended that female patients try not to wear high heels after surgery, because when walking in high heels, the force of the intervertebral disc will be greater than when walking normally, at this time, the lumbar balance is out of balance, the lumbar pressure is not conducive to postoperative recovery; if you must wear, wait until three months after the operation.
