A member asked:

How much time does it take for the sciatic nerve to recuperate after the herniated portion of the disk was removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proportional: Question is the degree of compression that affected the nerve root. Likely, only a portion of the sciatic was affected, but it may take 4 weeks if the myelin only was affected, yet may take months if the axon were injured. An EMG test might help.
