Recovery

Hiya. I was just hoping for a bit of advice regarding the recovery times. I know everyone is different but I’ve not long qualified as a nurse. I work on a busy medical ward which can be quite hands on. Mr Traynor has recommended I go under the muscle and and has said that two weeks off from my job would be enough. I told him I was a nurse. But speaking to a friend who was a nurse and now an air hostess, she said I’d need 3-4 weeks off work due to going under the muscle, you can lift or do any manual handling? I felt really gutted as the most I could get off work Is 2 weeks holidays. I’d be scared to go on the sick knowingly from something I’ve chosen to do with myself. Even light duties wouldn’t go down too well so I was just wondering of anybody else had any advice or any fellow nurses / manual handlers? Thanks xx
