Pootle May 2011 3:09pm, 9 May 2011 7,313 posts	Quote Pin Pootle Ha. I investigated this a while ago for husband. Lordy, if you are going through with it do not Google possible side effects. There are things in life I would rather not know.

HappyG(rrr) May 2011 3:17pm, 9 May 2011 14,998 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) 2008 for me - 2 weeks, roughly, I think. Bit more, actually. Depends on the individual though, some people the bruising/damage goes away quicker. Good luck! There was a thread about this before. Must have been cut!

wobblingTime May 2011 3:19pm, 9 May 2011 143 posts	Quote Pin wobblingTime 121 - my husband is 4 weeks post op and is only now thinking of going out for a run. He can't cope with the idea of cycling yet. But he did have a post-op infection which affected the speed at which his wound healed. Dose of antibiotics sorted him out in about ten days and he has none of the other side-effects so graphically described by Google.
TRO Saracen May 2011 3:20pm, 9 May 2011 5,364 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen Recovery from the physical effects - about a week for me. However if you have the soldering method done, it will be at least a year before you can tolerate the smell or sound of BBQ-ing meat.
