WALKING ON TREADMILL before your 2 before your 2 week post opt appointment?
I know that walking is important after surgery. But does anyone know if it's ok to use the treadmill before your 2 week post opt appointment? I have a membership to a gym, and because it's starting to get warm and muggy today I thought it would be a good idea to go there instead of walking around my neighborhood. What do you think?
Thanks Heather G

My doctor told me walking was fine as long as it wasn't in excess. I would say it's a natural function so I am sure it's ok. Just make sure to listen to your body and not over do it.
I was at the gym on the treadmill one week post-op. Granted, I was only doing like 2.5 for 30 minutes. But, I think the key is to just get moving, don't overdo it.
