ABSTRACT

Your physical activity after surgery will determined by how your legs feel. In

general, you will be able to walk, sit, drive a car, and pursue normal physical activity.

In the early days after surgery, your legs may tire. If they do, sit down and elevate

your legs above the level of your heart if possible. Vigorous activity such as jogging,

bicycling, or aerobics should be avoided for 7 to 10 days following surgery.
