What to do if a right sided microdiskectomy on my l5-s1 there disk after a microdiskectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid strenuous acts: In microdiscsctomy surgery they take out the portion of the disc that ruptured and came out of place to cause pressure over the nerve/ right s1 nerve roo., we make sure there are no more loose pieces that will come out again. We do not take out the entire disc material. So there is some disc left behind. You have to take it easy wait for the body to heal before starting strenuouous activities.
