Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, you need to follow the precautions as told by your neurosurgeon or spine surgeon as it was major surgery and chances of recurrence or incomplete recovery may exist if compliance to precautions isn't followed.

Ride bike and strenuous works may be avoided even for a year. Follow up visit and detailed neurological examination may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
