Most MD's say it is depends on your job type and how you feel. I am a nurse so I have taken 6 weeks off because my job requires me to lift and my MD has put me on no lifting greater than 10 pounds...
My MD said no driving for 2 weeks and then no driving while on pain medication. Most people don't realize that you can get a DUI (driving under the influence) while on pain medication, but you can....
