A member asked:

I had a myomectomy on 12december2012. i was told 4 weeks post op and i can start gymming. is it too soon? still feels swollen around the scar.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If ok with surgeon: Different surgeons may have different opinions but i think it is reasonable to begin low impact aerobic exercise and light weights with addition of increasing resistance over the next 3 weeks. Monitor your wound in the progress. It often takes up to 48 hours to assess pain and tenderness after a new exercise regimen do start slowly. Compression garments over the scar may help minimize swelling.
