I think it depends what your having, I’m a support worker and all of my patients are bed bound so I do a lot of moving with my upper body, I had overs and took three weeks off, but found by the end of my shift I really ached, I would say I was fully healed by 5-6 weeks but obviously that’s too long to take off work, I had a straight forward recovery though didn’t have any pain relief after the first day xx
