Hi guys, please share the total no. Of days you off at work after the surgery. I've been depressed for afew days already xoz my doctor just gave me a 10 days leave after the surgery. Is he joking or what? Im in my 4th week already and my energy regained is about 80%. I can walk but not the usual walking I had before surgery. Post your recovery days where you can say you are 100 percent recovered already.

4th week= 80% recovered.

    Hi mate,

    I'm 23 days post surgery now and I'm about 70% recovered. I went back to work after 14 days but it was too early and I have been struggling with pain and fatigue. It is slowly getting better and I'm off all pain meds now. A friend of mine told me that it was 5 weeks before he was 100%.
