DeniseM 238 Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) 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.

TanyaB 25 Posted November 1, 2013 No problems with walking. Rule of thumb from the doctor, if it hurts don't do it yet! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBT 450 Posted November 1, 2013 Usually it's 4 weeks because they don't want you to fall off the treadmill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
