Jul 7th
I am 24 and have been dealing with this pain for 9 years.. finally had an MRI and saw the results… 2 herniated discs EXTREMELY protruding into my spinal fluid. (L4 & L5 area) The surgeon said for someone my age he would never do surgery but its my only option at this time…its 45 minutes, small incision, and he said im up and walking and home that night.
-is recovery really this quick?
-did you really not feel pain after? if so long long did it last?
-did you need a catheder for surgery? (im a chicken)
please only respond if you or someone you know has had this type of surgery

After sustaining a herniated disc in the lower back, how long does it take for pain to radiate down the leg?
Apr 9th

It took 3 1/2 months for pain to go from my back to my leg (w/glute and hip pain developing steadily during that time). I’ve been decently, but not overly, active. Does it usually take that long?
