How long after did you return to work? Started by: Lis212

You should be as active as possible after your ok as it helps with healing. By active I mean up and about not like active active.
First day or 2 you’ll probably spend a long time sitting/ laying down but after that you’ll start to been a bit more normal. I took a week off work then worked from home for 2 extra days. I have an office based job though. Depends what you do, if it’s manual or on your feet probably longer x

I was completely useless for a good 6 days. Couldn’t even lift my self out of bed or go to toilet on by own. By day 7 and onwards i started to be able to get up and about. I had 2 weeks off work and was glad. Although i could do things after the first week, walking and movement was making me feel tender ans being at home for the second week was a blessing. I also could not sleep layed down for the first 2 weeks. I normally have a very high pain treshold. I wasnt really in pain by day 7 but my muscles just woulndt work properly or most things would make my cuts feel pressure. If you can have two weeks off id say do it…just in cass you have a though time like me lol
