A member asked:
I can't run or jog after having a vitrectomy w/o retinal det. a week ago but the doctor says i can be intimate with my bf..any concerns?

Follow his advice: I think some level of caution is reasonable. Without going into specific details of intimacy, you should avoid anything that would approach the level of activity similar to the running / jogging that the retinal specialist advised. Basically, take it easy.
