how long will i have to wait to exercise if i'm getting an arthroscopy to repair possible torn ?

Question

How long could a torn ACL arthroscopy procedure take?

Answer 1

10 days to 2 weeks: Swelling goes down starting day 4-5. As swelling goes down, bending improves and pain lessens. You can start light exercise when your knee swelling is mostly resolved and your pain has minimized. For many, this can be as early as 1-2 weeks. For most 2-3 weeks later this should be fine. Let pain and swelling be your guide. Once the meniscus is trimmed, internally your fine and can't hurt it.

Answer 2

6 weeks: You can start walking and climbing stairs if you need to as soon as you feel up to it. Hold off on heavy exercise for about 6 weeks, especially if you had a c-section. For an uncomplicated vaginal delivery without stitches you can start light exercise sooner, but listen to your body, if it hurts then stop doing it.

Answer 3

Ask attending OB : The best person to ask what occurred in labor and what challenges a woman faces after delivery is the OB who was the senior doctor on the case. It's always appropriate for a patient to ask him/her to come talk to her even if not her usual doctor. Information about what transpired, eg, bleeding, can be gained and put in perspective plus advice about exercise and nutrition, precautions can be given.

Answer 4

Depends on type: If you had a c-section, resume formal exercise around 6-8 weeks. If you had a natural birth (and assuming there were no pregnancy/childbirth-related issues) you may resume exercise activities within days to weeks from when you gave birth. Regardless of birth mode, i would recommend gradually working back toward the level of activity you were at pre-pregnancy and checking with your OB first.

Answer 5

1-4 weeks: Depending on conditioning at time of birth, n return to your workout routine as soon as you feel comfortable.Cardio, core, and moderate weight training are excellent choices. Mix it up to avoid overtraining.

Answer 6

Depends: It depends on how physically fit you were to begin with. If you had a vaginal delivery then you could go back to your regular exercise routine as soon as you feel up to it. If you had a c-section then i would advise you to wait three months. You need to give your abdomen time to heal.

Answer 7

Yes: Not only good...Great! especially as pregnancy progresses and becomes more uncomfortable, swimming is a wonderful way to get exercise and take a load off sore feet.

Answer 8

Yes: This is considered a good way to exercise in pregnancy if done in moderation.I wouldn't plan to swim the english channel.

Answer 9

Yes: Swimming is an excellent way to exercise during pregnancy. It works many different muscle groups and is a great cardiovascular workout all at the same time. It is safe to swim as long as water temperatures are not too hot or too cold.

Answer 10

Unknown: Each gram of the chocolate has at least 40-80 calories.How many grams consumed gives you the number.

Answer 11

Cardio conditioning: There are many causes of cardiac inflammation--infections, drug/chemo, radiation effects, excess alcohol, rheumatologic diseases, uncontrolled diabetes etc..While exercise itself does not get rid of inflammation in the heart, it may improve heart function and general health. It can help lower cholesterol/sugar, blood pressure and thus better heart-health. Other diseases must be treated. Good luck.
