A member asked:

Recently had to have emergency surgery for appendix removed. what is the recovery time, and how long are the lift limitations? also could the surgery have caused a bladder infection to create some un-comfort/pressure when urinating?

Surgery recovery : Usually post appendectomy instructions are for light lifting and diminished exercise for several weeks following discharge from the hospital. Check with your surgeon to see what he/she prefers, as not every surgeon will say the same.
