A member asked:

If i get sesamoid surgery how quick can i get back to running?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your doctor: It would depend on the reason for the surgery, type of surgery, and your general health. Your surgeon would be the best person to advise you about returning to running. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine.
