A member asked:

I do desk work at the office. how long after a neck disc replacement surgery can i resume work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually as soon as : It is comfortable to do so and your surgeon has cleared you to return to work. This may also be dependent on use of medication but generally, about two weeks after surgery.
