Anyone here work retail where you are on your feet a minimum of 6-8hrs a day? If so how long after surgery did you go back???

I havent worked retail in yrs, however, I work in a pharmacy so Im on my feet 8hrs a day 5-6 days a week... I thought I'd be able to go back to work after a week or two but my doctor was like no! He normally recommends 4-8 weeks. I got him to agree on 5 weeks and Im so glad that he was persistance and made me take that time off. Cuz even when I went back to work after 5 weeks I was still drained mid way thru the day for about 2 weeks. Now 13 weeks out Im good! As a matter of fact Im great!! And daily I find that Im gaining my strength and energy back and more than before surgery. But this may be different for others..

I took a week and a half, I felt like I could have went back after a week. My job is decently crazy as I'm usually up and walking a lot, I also find myself getting on and off the floor a lot. I felt perfectly fine when I went back.

2 weeks for me...Dr. basically asked when I wanted to go back and I told him "tomorrow? I'm bored as hell!" I'm a credit manager so, not much physical stress for me, just mental ha!...I got up to walk around every other hour.

I went back to work after 2 weeks (desk job)....I would recommend to anyone no less than 3 weeks. I was exhausted.
