Microdiscectomy horror stories are often about the bad experiences patients had during or after the microdiscectomy procedure. Some might include things like unexpected pain that doesn't go away even after the surgery. Maybe the pain is even worse than before the operation. Others could be about complications like infections. For example, a patient might have an infection at the surgical site which can cause a lot of problems and delay the healing process.

Yes. There was a person who had constant pain and numbness in the leg for months because of L5 - S1 disc issues. After the microdiscectomy, the very next day the numbness started to fade.

And within three months, they were back to their normal fitness routine including jogging and cycling.

After the microdiscectomy, he was able to walk around his neighborhood, climb stairs with less effort. His pain level decreased significantly. It shows that microdiscectomy can be successful across different age groups, though the recovery time may vary depending on the overall health of the patient.
