Health Q&A
6 weeks after L5-S1 microdiscectomy

Hi, I am post 6 weeks after my L5-S1 minimally invasive microdiscectomy surgery. I am feeling better and have some soreness/cramps in my muscles esp. in the hamstrings and calf area. If I walk for some time I have some soreness in my lower back. Other than walking I am doing nothing and no physiotherapy yet. My doctor told me that I can start driving carefully after 1 week but I haven't tried since I was afraid of the road and traffic. I was restricted to do bending, twisting and sitting more than 30 minutes but it was not mentioned till when I have to restrict myself. I am following the same pattern from day 1 post surgery except there is some increment in walking distances. I want an advise on when I can start my normal life (excluding exercises) which will not have an impact. Also I am rejoining back to my office after my 8 weeks post surgery. So please advise on the do's and don'ts at this moment. I am 94 kg male with moderate physical activity before surgery.

For the past five days the area on the top of my left foot next to my fourth toe has been numb. Movement of my foot and ankle etc is normal.
