Energy is aweful... if most can go back to work after 2 weeks why am I tired after just one load of laundry.
wear compression 24/7???
I really appreciate you guys getting me through this. I could not have done it without this board
I resume sex at six weeks out from surgery. I was told not to lift anything over 5 lbs. for about 8 weeks. Only bend and reach up when you feel comfortable enough to do it. I was back drving at 5 weeks. My energy was really low for the first three weeks but week 4 I began to feel like myself again and my energy returned. I did not go back to work for six weeks. I never wore compression so someone else will need to let you know about that. My healing was great with little or no swelling without compression.
I was told I could have sex whenever I felt up to it. My limit for lifting was 10 pounds for 6 weeks. I was also told that I couldn't drive until I was off the pain meds. I went back to work in 7 weeks but I was still tired. I wore my compression garment or spandex panty girdle for the first four weeks. I hope this helps.
Sex: on paper it said wait six weeks but my dr said I would know how I felt.
Lifting . . . no idea.
I could bend and reach as I felt comfortable to.
Driving: once off pain meds.
I went back to work a week and 3 days after surgery. I was told to wear my binder 24/7 for the first 3 weeks and then for 8 hrs a day for the next 2 weeks.
