Undergone Six Bypasses. Pain After Surgery, Unable To Stand Long Hours. Medical Help Required?
I had 6 bypasses on Nov 8 and I am supposed to go back to work jan 2, but I am still having problems standing for more than a few minutes, and doing normal things. And I am still having a lot of pain from the surgery and taking medicine for the pain. Do I need to see my dr about staying home longer or should I go back to work at all?

Dear patient
Thanks for your health concerns. You should visit your doctor according to your symptoms as it seems that you might not be ready to resume full time functions. Based on his knowledge of your case, physical exam and your perspective he can get an idea on when you can return safely to work, sometimes with reestrictions
Truly yours,
