It depends on pain tolerance level, wound recovering. At most including massage etc will take about 1 to 3 weeks. I do know of people that take serious care on recovering, followed by massage, using support binder then they started to do chores when they are strong, healing well enough. However, chores meaning light duty as c section need proper healing to avoid stitches from opening up.
