A member asked:
Can you tell me how long should post op laminectomy pain last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few weeks: Assuming that you did not have a fusion, which takes longer to heal, most uncomplicated recovery occurs over 3-4 weeks at most, and less commonly might take up to 6-8 weeks. But people vary and thus, healing also varies.
