I'm scheduled to head back to work next week after getting implants, and I'm feeling a bit nervous tbh. My job isn't super physical, mostly desk stuff, but still worried about discomfort or fatigue kicking in. Anyone been through this and have some good tips or things you wish you'd known beforehand? Like, did you ease back part-time or just jump straight in? Any little hacks or advice would be awesome right now...
I went back full-time after mine, also desk-based, and honestly wish I'd eased in part-time. Fatigue hit harder than expected... frequent short breaks and a comfy cushion helped a lot with discomfort though. Did your doc suggest anything specific?
I totally get what you're saying about fatigue—caught me off guard too. My doc didn't mention much beyond the usual "listen to your body" spiel, but honestly, easing in part-time would’ve saved me a lot of hassle. I ended up improvising with short walks around the office every hour or so, just to stretch and clear my head. Also, having snacks handy helped keep energy levels more stable... might sound silly, but it made a difference. Hang in there—it does get easier with time.
