For those of you who were still working when you had the implants, on average how many days did you take off before returning to work (please mention the type of work, e.g. office, works that involve walking around, physical work etc) after implantation?

I was off one full week and 1/2 days the second week. Office job. Some walking around. I had a good bit of pain and was on pain meds for 2 weeks. Severe nut pain from the pump and incision.

Office job, off work for 2 weeks and a day. Surgery was on a Friday and return would have been on Labor Day so I added one more day to the time between revision surgery and work.

Time off was dictated by doctor's conservative estimate and my companies time off for illness policies.
