Can i work after axillary deep tissue abscess i&d?

Abscess: You could probably work, but it is doubtful that you are really going to feel like it. Whichever arm is involved will not be moving much post-operatively and you may be sedated and in some discomfort. Wishing you the best, good luck and hope you are better soon.

Depends: If you feel you have good function of your hand, are not required to lift heavy objects, and practice good hand washing, then yes.
