A member asked:
How long before percutaneous cervical discectomy(yess disc) takes effect?i had it 3wks ago but still no effect t all
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: If a percutaneous discectomy is going to work, results are usually immediate, or at least within the first several days. The longer that your symptoms persist, the more likely it may be that your surgery was not effective. I would give it at least 6 weeks before considering other options.
