If you take care of your spine well, there should not be any long term side effects.
However there are chances that there can be recurrent disc prolapse, discitis- infection, spine degeneration and facet joint issues causing back pain etc.
At this age, it is a advantage that you can take care of your spine well with good muscle and back strengthening. So you need not worry about these side affects.
