    Girls I’ve gone back to work this week and I drive all day and am out on the road inspecting properties. I’m utterly drained and exhausted. I so thought I was ready to go back and now I’m back I actually could cry with tiredness. I’m still not sleeping very well and my neck and back are in absolute bits! Anyone else really struggle going back to work? And any suggestions for my sleep and back/neck ache.

    I’m literally so tired I @deepestsmile I could cry. Don’t push yourself too hard. At least if your back Friday your able to see how you feel and then you have another couple of days off. I just had my 2 weeek check up and stitches removed and I’m nearly falling asleep on the train home!

    Don’t know if it helps Hun – I had to have an additional 2 weeks off after my initial 2 weeks due to feeling not ready for it. If you see your doctor they should be able to do you a sick note for work esp if you had unders xx

    Oh really @hannahjenksx I did wonder if the gp would sign me off or if I could take a day or two just as sick leave without being penalised for it. I honestly could cry today. I’m so over tired and I feel like I’ve really pushed myself a bit too much this week x

    I’m 3 wks PO & have had 2 wks Off completely (as much as my business has allowed anyway, had to do some admin stuff) taken 4 wks off physical role and so pleased I have. Feel tired, no way 100% in myself & not sleeping great. Definitely recommend some ear plugs for helping sleep! I had unders & mini lift so assumed longer recovery. Take it easy, if you don’t feel ready take the time off, your health & recovery is too important. Xx

    @emhawkes79 I think because I felt better in myself and the main pain was gone I felt fine to go back. But I feel the same just totally not myself at all and so drained. I will definitely have to take it easy. X
