Anyone out there have a microscopic discectomy done? I am scheduled for one in a couple of weeks due to a herniated L4-5 disc pushing on my sciatic nerve. I am wondering how the recovery went and how long did it take to get back to life as normal.
Had the same around '98-'99. Could hardly stand up for the "5 minute standup" pre-shift meetings.
It was a one night hospital stay. What a difference a few hours made. Back to work LD in one week. FD after 6 weeks. No issues there since, just everywhere else.
