Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Sugery Recovery Questions?
I've had an MRI and been diagnosed with a full thickness rotator cuff tendon tear. After consulting a couple of surgeons I am planning to go ahead with arthrosocpic sugery to repair it. My questions have to do with the limitations I will encounter after the surgery.
I work from home as a consultant on contract, and unfortunately do not have any disability insurance that will pay my salary when out of work. Given my current financial state, taking off work for more than a few days would be ruining.
My hope is that I can have the surgery on Thursday or Friday to utilized the weekend for recovery time. I know I will need to have my arm in a sling for up to a couple of month, but I should be able to work with just my left arm, as my job entails just using the computer and being on teleconverences. My fear is that the post operative pain will require me to take pain meds that will not allow me to work while on them.
Is my plan to work a few days after the surgery realistic? The doctor said I won't be able to drive for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Why is this? I don't need to go anywhere other than to physical therapy.
