Depends on what your surgeon told you. I could only walk (regular or treadmill) for the first four weeks, and then I was cleared for all exercise, but you need to do what your doctor says since we are all different.

No problems with walking. Rule of thumb from the doctor, if it hurts don't do it yet! Good luck

Usually it's 4 weeks because they don't want you to fall off the treadmill :)
