After the procedure you will be sent for physical therapy twice or 3 times a week for 4 to 6 weeks. If you are a fast healer and you attend the therapy sessions and you have a good therapist, then you can resume your job in as fast as 3 weeks. But it's best to wait for 4 to 6 weeks before resuming full activity.
