How soon after trauma to a lumbar disc would evidence of disc dehydration be evident?
There are variables here... but since you phrase the question the way you do, I'll assume You're under 35 years old... Over the years disks begin to wear out and flatten or possibly bulge out (like squashing a marshmallow). Sometimes, trauma --or bending or leaning with/without heavy lifting-- can cause a herniation in the side of this disk, and the resulting herniation can cause problems by pinching a nerve. As to disc dessication (dehydrating), that will depend on what type of work you've performed over the years (common labor vs sedentary), your age, health, etc... But I would expect disc dessication to occur 2-3 years following a disk herniation... That is really a very difficult question to answer... Sorry...
