@myacct123 It depends on a lot of factors.
Here are a few -
- your physical condition before injury
- how severe the injury
- how extensive the repair surgery
- how quickly your body heals and whether there are any complications
- how physical your job is - with a sedentary job it might be a week or two, in you climb ladders or lift boxes all
day it could be two months or longer
What is your surgeon's forecast?
