A member asked:

Is it ok to exercise on treadmill if one is taking pain medication & add medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes if you do not have any other issues such as heart ,lung,balance issues etc.It would matter what are you taking the pain medication for.I would start out slow walking on the treadmil and over the new 3 weeks slowing increase the pace .It would also be prudent to discuss this with your physician that prescribe the meds.
