A member asked:
When can i go back to work after shoulder spur removal surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Desk work- 1-2 weeks: If your rotator cuff is intact, and just subacromial spurs removed, you should be able to return to desk/office work in 1-2 weeks. A more labor intensive job would require more time potentially. Check with your surgeon to be sure.
