Patient's question:
Sometimes the left lower back hurts, sometimes the right lower back hurts. After going to the hospital for a check-up, a radiofrequency ablation was performed for a herniated disc. How long does it take to fully recover? The minimally invasive procedure has been three months.Doctor's answer:
The left lower back pain you mentioned, sometimes the right lower back pain, has now been diagnosed as a herniated intervertebral disc. Generally, I need to review your test results at the time, surgical treatment plan, and post-treatment outcomes. It usually takes about 1-2 months to fully recover.Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen the body, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
