Golf.... How Long Did You Wait To Start Playing.



Recommended Posts

How long did anyone wait after surgery to start playing. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and have the itch to play. But i'm afraid the twisting motion of the mid section will aggrevate the incisions. Especially the one on the left side.

Have you asked your doctor or someone in his/her office? It seems that different doctors have different programs for what you can do when.

Doc tld me at least three months than we would talk just for the reasons you mentioned. Your body is trying to grow a protective shell over those staples and if you tear it constantly ou will hurt yourself.

This probably explains why John daily is not sleeved :P

Thanks. I just had my 6 week follow up with doc. on friday. He said it should be fine to play, but if there is any discomfort to stop. I think i'll be fine.
