I had a microdiscectomy 7 weeks ago (L4-5) and while pain is gone, I still have some loss of strength in my leg. It doesn t hurt to walk, but I m unable to jog because I cant push off with the bad leg... Is the leg likely to regain full strength eventually?
Hello.  Now that the disc is no longer pressing on a nerve root there's every reason to think that, in time the full strength will return to your leg.  You need to be in physical therapy to work on muscle hardening in the leg
