I had partials took a week off and then went back to work , I was still very sore , but by day 7 I was mobile I went out to dinner & had strapping off , just keep up with all your meds don’t skip any , eat loads of protein / veg . Rest as much as poss , nurofen was a god send to me for my back pain , you will feel fine soon , it’s so worth it
Ps I didn’t drive for 2 weeks as it really scared me I would pull myself & seatbelt hurt xx
