The question is not clear. If you already had a discectomy then you should have follow-up doctors visits with your surgeon. Usually the first evaluation is done in person to check the wound for proper healing. After that, telehealth visits are acceptable.

Generally post discectomy we recommend avoidance of strenuous activities for 2 months and encourage walking as tolerated several times a day. Try to gradually wean off postoperative medications. If you have access to a swimming pool at home or a stationary bicycle, those are beneficial ways to start your home rehabilitation process.

I obviously do not have your entire MRI and only one picture. You need to have the entire MRI to review to give a full opinion. But the picture you show does show bulging disks and loss of cervical lordosis. If you have no symptoms then there are no indications for restrictions and there would be no reason you would not qualify for the military. You can also perform normal sports activities and occupations. If that is disputed then you need to be examined and have a specialist provide a full report for the military. I have done that on a number of occasions. Best wishes. I hope you have the opportunity to serve your country.
