A member asked:
Are there long term weight carrying restrictions once disks (l5-s1, 1l4-l5) are herniated even after pain goes away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No once you have had: a resolution of all symptoms there are no particular restrictions other than those of common sense in terms of using proper body mechanics when lifting and carrying. Obviously, the amount of weight one can lift varies based on your own size and fitness.
