I am 7 weeks post surgery...came out of it with ZERO PAIN and NO PAIN MEDS since about 3 days post surgery in hospital. I'm curious if anyone has done sit-ups post surgery, and if so, at what point after surgery. I was a runner for total fitness (never again now) but want to do sit-ups to stay in shape midline. Would appreciate all input. Thanks and God Bless all recovering and going into surgery. I found it to be totally worth it! First time in over two years that I am not living on pain MEDS, don't even want them!
Hi j,
Glad to hear you are recovering well from THR.
Not sure about sit-ups. Have you seen a physio? Why not ask her/him for advice?
Hi there. I started doing sit ups before my siz week check. Only gently to start but it was oked by Dr and physio at the apmt. The hardest thing was getting to the floor in the first place but physio showed me how. Im now fitter than i have been for years. Im eight months out now
Hi there...like Catrin I'm also 8 months post op...and gradually started sit ups after 2 months....and gentle jogging after 6 months. I still hope to get a 10K race in 12 months time!
Getting down to floor and up sans hands I'd my current challenge...
Good luck...
Mic
