Asked By:vn2 in Atlanta, GA

59 year old fit and healthy female. Job requires lifting 5 lb - 40 lb packages from pallets to chest level shelving. (40 lbs is a rarity). I know every recovery is different, but can someone please give me an estimate as to how long I'll need to wait so as not to risk damage or incision rupture? Can I lift 5 lbs right away? 10 lbs? 20 lbs? Thanks!
