Will this lump ever go down
Posted , 6 users are following.
13 weeks post op. 2nd day back at work and I'm really sore and swollen again.
I have done 5 hours work each day. My job involves lots of bending to put things on shelves. I am on light duties no lifting anything heavy. I have been told I can go and sit down whenever I want. This though is easier said than done because work colleagues think I'm Skiving and I feel like I'might letting them down by not pulling my weight.
I am just wondering when the swelling will stop and the soreness?

I'm going to feel just like you though when I'm back to work I am sure but I am going to try and put myself first for the first time.
Aww good luck... thank goodness for this forum all the literature out there makes it seem as though you will be back to normal after 6 weeks which is just not realistic - I do understand we all heal at different rates etc and there is a range of different procedures etc.... Matron will probs give some great advice xx

You are on light duty. You aren't supposed to be able to accomplish as much as they are. It's OK.

If you overdo things it will take even longer for deeper tissues to heal.
Try not to worry about what your colleagues think, they probably will want to help you get back to your full potential as soon as possible.
Rest plenty when you get home and only do the essential things you need to.
Take care, you will get there in the end
