I guess ymmv but for me it was almost instant recovery. I woke up and I just had to recover from a fairly minor wound on my lower back, but the sciatica, numbness and suchlike had vanished.
If I remember right I was working immediately, waited for the stitches to come out before light excercise (swimming, gym bike) and then ramped things up till back to normal 2-3 months later.
The limitations were self imposed - taking it easy to ensure all is well, and adding in Pilates, Alexander Technique and the like to ensure there’s no repeat of the issue - rather being physically unable to do to stuff

Anyone got any experience of recovery time from microdiscectomy/decompression surgery? Under the knife at the weekend and maybe somewhat optimistically hoping I might be working again next week. (I do work from home with a standing desk) Also cycling again within a month?!
