advice one week post op

Hi, I’m one week post op now at this stage should I be getting back to normal? I cant do my hair yet or carry things but I’m moving alot better how long until I can use arms fully etc as I go back to work soon thankyou

Are you moving around normally but at a slower pace? I was driving by day 4, I tried to keep as active as I could so my muscles didn’t become totally relaxed and just went at a slower speed 🙂 happy healing x

Not much ? when I feel it pulling etc is I still ok to move? X

Did you have unders or overs? I know the recovery is slightly longer with unders, I’ve allowed 14 days off work, to be sure, hope you’re feeling better soon.

Oh okay, well my advice would be to take your tablets and up the ibuprofen amount by a tiny bit as that’s a better pain reflief that paracetamol, try and slowly move around more, go for walks and some air to you, don’t over do anything at all, no heavy lifting! I know everyone heals differently, but if you are still in a lot of pain ring your nurse and also ask her for some advice, coz you may need some stronger pain relief x

Thanxs girls for your advice xx

I had unders x
