Playing Sports

[Codogg]

After surgery how long are you suppose to wait untill you can lift weights?
        - run?
        - play soccer and maybe take a ball on the chest going pretty fast?
        - return to normal life and do anything that you would have done before the surgery?

They usually say 3 weeks to full activity. Remember, though, you're going to be wearing your vest so it may be uncomfortable. I'd start with running, pushups, situps, ect. for the beginning and then work your way to the weights. Don't rush it.

For running, 2 weeks? Taking a ball in the chest-4?

Surely it should be longer than 3 weeks for starting press-ups?

Wait 4 weeks for pectoral weight lifting.
