Excellent question. Check out the link above. I'm on my 3rd week out, but I think normal is 1-2 weeks. Every patient is different. Good luck!

I have a desk job and I had surgery 2 weeks ago on wednesday and was back to work the following monday. I was a bit tired and fatigued so maybe driving you would want to take a bit more time off.

ok thanks....i cant take more than a week off...thats why im worried. i think ill be ok to get back at er. its just i lose 500 bucks a everyday i dont work so im trying to get away with just one week off
