I had surgery on friday, today is my 5th day of recovery. I'm still
pretty sore, Ive read where other people go back to work in 5days.
I'm still a little too sore. I was wondering if anone else was still sore
on day 5, 6, 7?

I had surgery in March, and I took a week off from work. I had the BFESS, Nasal Airway Reconstruction, and a turbinate reduction -so it was pretty major. Nevertheless, I felt really good about 3 days later.

The main thing to be careful of, is lifting heavy objects, and exposing yourself to fumes and pollution. You don't want another infection.

Make sure your ENT removes scar tissue in a couple weeks.

I'm too sore still, has anyone else taken a little longer to recover
or am I just a baby

?

well... since everyone is different, therefore there's no sure way to tell how long you take to recover though there's the estimate time. How fast a person recovers from surgery could also depend on the overall health, diet, lifestyle and stuffs like that. Good luck on your recovery!!!
