So i got the results back from mri its a slight tear in my mencuis doc going to shave it off how long will i'll be out for work will it work?

Depends on your work: It really depends on how much physical activity you do for work. Usually, depending on the procedure, patients can drive after 1-3 weeks. If you have a slight tear, you can usually return to a sedentary job after a few days or week. Physical activities are usually continued in 6-8 weeks. Ask the doc who is going to do your surgery for the best answer: http://www.orthoinfo.org/topic.cfm?topic=A0029
