It is generally recommended to avoid lifting heavy objects after a discectomy surgery to prevent strain on your back and increase the risk of complications or new injuries. It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions and gradually reintroduce physical activities based on their guidance.

What happened to my own arm and shoulder was that I suffered a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder, years ago, which still bothers me when trying to lift heavy objects or if I should twist my arm in some way. I was offered surgery at the time but decided the trauma of surgery was less desirable than coping with the rotator cuff tear. I was wrong. If you should encounter such an accident, by all means have the surgery if you're sufficiently well to undergo it.
