Are you having unders or overs?
Overs tend to be quicker to heal.
I had unders and for the first 3/4 days I needed someone to physically lift my back up as once I was laying down I was like an upside down turtle. Very little pain but I couldnt push myself up.
My friend had 7 days off work and was fine, I had 12 for my office job. I could have gone back earlier but your body needs time to heal. I also didnt get on well with the pain meds and antibiotics so after the 7 day course of them I needed a few extra days to recover.
Best of luck with surgery it’s all wworth it in the end!
