5 weeks post op, exercise?



Recommended Posts

I have my next appointment in 1 week.

I haven't really started exercising like I was before surgery... this week I did start walking on the treadmill for about 20 minutes a day and using 5 lb weights to do arms... trying to tone my chicken wings!!! But not engaging my core in any way.

Feeling a little pain near my port scar today... don't know how it could be related to walking on the treadmill but it's the only change I've made. no swelling or hard lumps that I can feel. I'm also due for my TOM tomorrow so I'm feeling pain in the usual places for that... Do you think the pain near the port is related to either? It's not constant, but every now and then I get a quick sharp "ouch!"

When did you start up your regular exercise routine?

I was cleared for working out at 4 weeks. Every once in a while, I get that twinge at my port site too.
