Patients can usually return to work within one week. Some patients return as soon as three days after surgery. If a patient has a job that requires a lot of physicality, they may require more time off work.
Basic physical activities can begin after two weeks. Strenuous exercise, watersports, bicycling, and similar activities should not begin before four to six weeks. Sexual activity should not begin before about six to eight weeks for most patients. Dr. B will provide a recovery timeline once he can accurately evaluate the patient and their needs.
