Questions How soon post-op did you go back to working out?
My surgeron said 6 weeks but I feel like that's an unnecessarily long time. I'm currently 3 weeks post-op and I feel completely normal, I already felt just fine after 1 week and I've been physically active (walking, working, carrying small weights) after week 2.
I'm thinking about giving it one more week to round it up to a month and start with light exercise rather than heavy lifting or intense workouts. Even if the cuff wasn't fully healed, doing arms and legs shouldn't cause any problem right?? Anything I should avoid?
