How long after an open appendectomy can a dance student take dance lessons again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dance type?: Healing will not reach full strength,about 80% of original for 3-6 months.. Can probably start gentle stretching at about 8-10 weeks but no heavy lifting or abrupt maneuvers for at least 3-4 months as risk of hernia creation will be present till fully healed. Talk to physical therapist about exercise and stretching program that protects incision till healed
