I have slipped disc for de past 6 months ( l5)was not cured through medicines in surgery stage now .can i do my sports activities after surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated disc: After the microdiscectomy for the herniated disc, there is a period of 6 weeks to 3 months where low impact sports are preferred to reduce the risk of recurrent disc herniation or delaye instability. The recovery period varies based on the type of back surgery. Discuss with your surgeon the expected time to recovery.
