[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 198283, member: 84"] Fairly typical. Honestly, I'm surprised the doctor let you go back to work. (or was this solely your idea?) The typical recovery is usually 6 wks. And I'd think with it being knee surgery, doctor would want you to take the whole 6 wks off. Not that you'll feel the exhaustion that whole time. But that knee needs some time to heal. You need PT. And pain all by itself is draining as all heck. With my broken shoulder I pushed myself to hard, too fast. I'm lucky I didn't hurt the healing process. But boy did I regret it. I suffered pain levels that were out of this world because of it. What did your doctor recommend as far as going back to work? Seems like you're rushing things a bit to me. If he didn't think to give you a time frame, I'm sure you can call his office and ask what is reasonable. It's good that you're up and around, and that you're exercising the knee. But I'd think work.......where you can't just go and ly down, or whatever when you push to the limit, isn't such a good idea so soon. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
