no i don’t think so it will take for a month or more may be 5 weeks depending about the strong of your body

My husband had this surgery 6 months ago, he is still out. He is a smoker – so his body did not heal.
It depends on the person. Good luck!

I had surgery on my L-5. I was up walking around the next day. I was told to stay out of work for 4 weeks but went back in two. It depends on the kind of work you do. You need to be careful. You can definitely re-injure it.
