How long does it take to recover from herniated lumbar disc surgery when your leg still hurts?

The recovery time for leg pain after lumbar disc herniation surgery is mainly related to the surgical method, which is usually around 1~3 months. Minimally invasive intervertebral foramenoscopy surgical treatment generally requires patients to be bedridden for a week before they can move off the floor, and they can live a normal life only after about one month, and the pain can be alleviated after one month in general. Open surgical treatments such as laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, transabdominal disc surgery, vertebral body fusion, etc., need to be under the protection of the support for three months after the operation, and after three months to carry out daily activities, and the pain recovery time after the normal activities can be carried out, usually for three months. In addition, the recovery time of postoperative pain is also related to the individual’s physical fitness. The recovery time for postoperative pain is shorter for patients with stronger physical condition, while the recovery time for patients with poorer physical condition and weaker physical strength will be relatively longer.
