A member asked:

Son 3 weeks post microdisctomy. leg pain gone but can't sit more than 20 or 30 min w/o pain. dr sent son to pt at 2 week. is this reason to worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The surgery helps the leg pain but will not give immediate relief for the back pain. Pt is appropriate and should help. Time will also help.
