Ready to go back to work? !
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all. Just wanting your thoughts on returning to work. My note runs out next week after posterior prolapse 4 weeks ago. Although I'm feeling ok the worst position to be in is sitting upright. Especially if at a desk for 8 hours. Has anyone got advice who has been through this procedure? Should I take more time off or maybe reduce hours? Don't want to go back and then end up off sick again as rushed things!! I also have 2 young children so it's not a case of resting when I get home (that's when 2nd job starts ) !
Any experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks. Jo xx

I would definitely get signed off for another couple of weeks - take as much time as you can.
I went back to work just half days last week (10 weeks after A&P repair) and its been difficult - very uncomfortable sitting and driving - hoping I havent done any damage but Matron has reassured me that it is just swelling and bruising from too much sitting.
The general rule is that recovery takes at least 6-8 weeks and as you have children - take that amount of time off and be kind to yourself.
