Reading list: Is swelling normal after spine surgery and how long?
Yes, mild swelling is common after spine surgery. It happens because the body is healing the operated area. In most cases, swelling lasts for 1 to 2 weeks, but full spine operation recovery time may take several weeks depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s health.
Proper rest, light walking, and following the doctor’s advice help reduce swelling and improve overall recovery. If swelling becomes severe, painful, or is combined with fever, medical advice should be taken immediately.
Conclusion
Swelling is a normal part of healing after spine surgery and usually settles within a few weeks. Proper care ensures a smooth spine operation recovery time and better results.
