Return to Work Following Tarsometatarsal Bone Fusion Surgery

I’m had surgery on 31 January, and am due to return to work on 23 April. I’ve initially told work that I’ll be doing half days my first week back, but people have been telling me I should do a phased return to work, building up slowly.

i don’t see my physio or consultant until next Wednesday, which is very close to when I’m due back on the Monday, to be able to ask them what I should do. 

Does anyone have any experience of this or able to offer some advice?

Cheers.

    I went back to work after 2.5 weeks off but using a knee scooter and staying off my foot.  Do what’s going to be best for your foot in the long run.
