If you had microdiscectomy surgery, it can take as long as 3-4 months for the spine to fully scar over. However, normal activities may be resumed 2-3 weeks after surgery. Just be careful not to push your body too far.

∙ 11y agoI don't believe it ever heals, so to speak; the vertebrae is out of alignment. I went to chiropractors and a Sports MD who did nothing fix it. Then, I went to an endoskeleton DO in Alexandria, VA (Dr. Trajos) who knew exactly how to put it back where it belonged. Problem is, if I over-exert, it slips back out, so periodic adjustments have been necessary to put it back.
If you're lucky enough to find a good endoskeleton guy who knows how to align your bulging vertebra, you should combine that with exercise to strenghten the muscles, which hold the vertebrae in place.
Basically all this is true, but you could make a lasting recovery for the muscle imbalances that cause this thing in the first place. I've added a link to a video about muscle imbalances and what to do about them, but most people are too lazy to get to the root cause of their problem and just work a little bit to cure it.

∙ 10y agoUnfortunately, there is not a specific time for recovery as no two people can recover in the same way at the same rate. An average time frame would be between one month and six months. Within one month around 50% of people have recovered, and within six months 96% have recovered.
