Week 1: During the first week, it's normal to have some mild swelling or redness at the injection site. Your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and guide you in managing any side effects.
Week 2-4: Most patients can return to their regular activities by the second to fourth week. However, it's advisable to avoid intense exercise during this period.
Week 6: Any swelling or discomfort should have subsided at this stage. You can gradually resume all your regular activities.
Long-Term: Over the coming months, you'll continue to experience improved health and well-being as the biologic therapy takes full effect.

Rest and recover, and watch the magic happen.
