Im a nurse so I have a busy job. I lift alot I work with babies so not really heavy but sometimes 9lbs. I was wondering if you guys think 2 weeks is enough to recop? Or should I request more?

Thanks...alot of people are telling me to take about 3 weeks off because we work hard.

I'm taking 2 weeks. From what I hear after after 2 weeks it's more of fatigue then pain. I guess if you can take 2 weeks you should.

Thank you. Thats what im taking now.

I would take 3 at the least. I took 2 and I work in the ER as front office.. so I have a desk job with no lifting.

I am not a nurse but I had a 4mth old and Dr advised no problem lifting her. She was about 13lbs. I sit at my job other than going to court so I had surgery on Friday and back at work Monday.

A nurse too and my dr's office said 2 weeks minimum off. After that I'll b on restrictions and we'll go day to day to see how I do. Hopefully feel good and no dizziness or anything afterwards
