When can I return to work?
When can I return to work?
This will depend on the type of work you do and the extent of the surgery. If you have a job involving arm movements close to your body you may be able to return within 3 weeks. Most people return within 3 months of the operation, but you have a heavy lifting job or one with sustained overhead arm movement you may require 3 to 6 months off. Please discuss this further with the consultant or physiotherapist if you feel unsure.
