The study variables included age, gender, the operated level, duration of low back pain and lower limb pain, smoking history, patient weight, first or recurrent discectomy and lumbar disc herniation class on MRI. Data were analyzed using student T-test and Chi-square test. No significant relationships were found between lower limb pain and other variables after surgery.
