Regular Member Scorpian Posted May 10, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2009 I know this has been mentioned before, but is it safe to workout 4 weeks post op without putting the receipient area at risk? Is blood flow an issue? Could this theoretically tamper with the graft survival rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member lovestospoon Posted May 10, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2009 At 4 weeks post op the only thing you would have to worry about is stretching the scar. Any exercises that cause tension on the back of your neck should be avoided until the scar fully matures.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted May 10, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2009 I would recommend starting out at 75% or so; and then working your way up. My problem was the donor area felt like it would stretch when working out, especially when laying flat on a bench or something. 100?

Then I eased back into it, listening to what my body was telling me. BE very careful if you do setups as you do not want to stretch the donor area scar! I do setups and I do not put my hands behind my head (never do anyway, but some do) and keep you head straight or back, just so you do not bend your head towards your chest as this will stretch the donor scar, use common sense....on any exercise that may cause you to do this.

Regular Member roscopeeco Posted May 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 13, 2009 good advice rjnebbo..i do the same thing...it will be two weeks thursday post op...i mainly lift arms and legs...i do bench but i don't lay my head on the bench...if i feel any stretch at all on the back of the head i just don't do that exercise...forget about completing the set...just drop that exercise and move on...definitely don't do back exercises or abs. no pain no gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
