Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains that most people can return to normal activities the day after an injection, though athletes should avoid high-impact work for six weeks. Sam, a patient, says the adjustment worked wonderfully with minimal disruption to his routine.
About six weeks.
In most cases, starting the day after the injection.
It was easy for me to adjust and it just worked wonderfully.
We'll typically ask people who are athletic or enjoy working out to take about six weeks off of high impact activity. But in most cases we can do our normal activities starting the day after we do our injection.
At my age, my activities are none of them are very strenuous. So probably the most strenuous thing is mowing the lawn, and I wasn't doing that in February. It was easy for me to adjust and it just worked wonderfully. Sam.
