time off work

Hi ladies, how much time is everyone taking off work, iv got 4 weeks off work due to my job as im military and got loads of heavy lifting at work. iv seen some ladies wishing they took extra time off just wonderingh if 4 weeks is long enough as im having under the muscle.

xx

I’ve only got 10 days, back Monday and I’m contemplating if that’s enough time at all! We shall see. 4 weeks though, is a good amount of time xx

9 days here x

I’ve got two weeks off but I’ve got quite a physically demanding job so will be going back on light duties for a week or two. I’ve got unders too so trying to take it easy while I’m off 🙂 xo

I have like 12 days I work in a pharmacy but it’s quite physical as we use machinery for care homes and im praying it’s long enough you’ll be fine with 4 weeks 🙂 also nice to see your military!!! High 5 to you xxxxxxxxxxzx

I had 7 days off work and went back on day 8. I was fine at work it was driving that I struggled with in that second week but I’m 4 and half weeks post op now and I had unders and I’ve been pain free for a while. Sometimes forget you’ve has them done. Lol xxx

ive got 12 days off and im in a complete panic about that being long enough!
I’m a very active reception class teacher, jumping, running, dancing, acting, PE lessons, picking up upset or injured children or children with SEN etc. But i cannot take longer I am having it done as early on as possible in the school holiday and didn’t have it done this half term as this one was only a week long!
I’d give anything to have 4 weeks off.
4 weeks should be fine 🙂

Im same as you vanessa! Im a teaching assistant and go back to work on day 10! Hope to god i’ll be fine! Xxx

I only had a week off and went back on light duties.
I don’t think you’re supposed to do any heavy lifting for 6 weeks though as the insicions aren’t fully healed. I think you’ll get the ok to do so at the 6 week check up.
I have no pain now but I can feel it if I lift something as I had unders so I’m avoiding lifting things as long as I can xx

I’m only off a week!!! It’s all I could take but its just office work so will be sitting down all day, I have horses though and been told I cant ride for 4 weeks 🙁 xx

I’m only taking a week off but I’m having overs so I think the recovery is quicker. Plus I only work at a computer so no heavy lifting or anything for me xx

thanks for replying girls, 6 weeks after my surgery il be teaching weapons again and down range just means i cant lift the aummuntion containers il be fine with everythng else. i cant wait but im not getting it done till 31st jul as thats the main summer leave period for where i work xx
