what is therecovery time for herniated disc surgery?
I had surgery on the L-5/S-1. I was up walking within two hours after the surgery. Released from the hospital the next day. Restricted to lifting 5 pounds for the first couple weeks, 15 pounds weeks 3-4, 20 pounds weeks 5-6, 40 pounds after 6 weeks for the rest of my life. After the six week check-up I was released to go back to work. I know several other people with the same recoup times as myself. If you have nerve damage (numbness/tingling) in the legs/foot area, it can take up to a year to recover what you may or may not recover. In addition, back pain will improve throughout the same year also. Good luck!
