What can I expect after the microdiscectomy surgery? I talked with a woman while a way waiting for my appointment at the doctor’s office. She was there for check and she said that after 4 wks after microdiscectomy and she claims that she is still experiencing the pain.

Usually, a microdiscectomy spine surgery procedure is performed on an outpatient basis or with one overnight in the hospital, so post-operatively, patients may return to a normal level of daily activity quickly. Some surgeons restrict a patient from bending, lifting, or twisting for the first 6 weeks following surgery. But, since the patient's back is mechanically the same, it is also reasonable to return to a normal level of functioning immediately following microdiscectomy spine surgery. I can tell you why she still has a pain after 4wks, but why does it bothers you? We all react differently.
