Hey guys,
So yesterday, at two weeks post-fue, I did my first exercise. It was pretty intense, but my doc says it's fine at 10 days post-op (so I waited 14 days rather than 10 to be extra cautious). My recipient was tingling like crazy, but stopped after my heart rate calmed down. No visible sign of an problem in the recipient (no blood or anything).
Is this is a sign of some problem? I've read many threads on this forum, and to be honest I get a confusing picture. Some talk of blood flow to the head. If this increases after exercise, is this what makes the tingling, and is the singling a sign the grafts are in trouble? I also experienced a similar tingling after sex, which the clinic told me to avoid just for the first night....so there does appear to be a correlation between heart racing (exercise/sex) and recipient tingling. Any thoughts? My concern is I'm causing some damage. But if it's normal then I'll carry on....
Thanks guys
