This depends on the type of work you do. If you work in an office environment which does not involve heavy lifting or intense labouring then you may return to work the following day. This is also if you are relatively comfortable. If your work involves heavy lifting or more intensive physical labour, then we suggest that you do not go back to work for at least 48 hours. If you are pain and tenderness free after this time, I suggest a gradual return to work duties. When you do return to work, please wear supportive underwear for at least 7 days post procedure.
