When I could play tennis again



Recommended Posts

I leave for surgery tomorrow and have surgery on Monday. I play in a tennis league and was wondering how long before I would be up to playing. It has helped lose 30lbs so far.

My doc said 4 weeks. Even at 4 weeks, I could tell I wasnt fully healed so I took it slow. Nothing in particular but when I ran or twisted, you could just tell that it wasnt quite 100% so I took it easy but played. At 6 weeks now, I dont even notice I had surgery.

I play tennis as well (4.5 level). I remember playing a pretty serious singles match just 2 weeks after surgery. It was no big deal. I maybe struggled with energy level towards the end of the 2nd set. But it was great to be out again hitting. You will be fine and back out on the courts in no time.
