A member asked:
Is there a chance to have a recurrent for the herniated disk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If you have had a herniated disk, this can shrink and desiccate over several months, but a traumatic event could result in more local damage and cause additional herniation or even fragmentation and either could compress a nerve root.
