Hello
I had decompression surgery on my right side 4 weeks ago for venous TOS. After finding clots in my shoulder/upper arm, I was diagnosed. I saw a specialist up at NYU and scheduled surgery to remove my 1st rib/scalene muscles and any scar tissue that was there. Everything went well with surgery (except for the collapsed lung), and I have really recovered very quickly! I started PT to help my ROM get better before returning to work. I have a very physical job in bakery making wedding cakes etc... It's a lot of lifting and moving around. I don't want to do any damage by returning to soon, the doctor says it's really up to me when I feel comfortable enough to get back into my work schedule.

I was wondering how long people waited until returning to work? If anyone had any info that they could offer that would be great! Thanks
