Hi. I am sorry if this is a repeat question but how long after BMX (no reconstruction) can you exercise? I had mine a week ago and got my drains out yesterday. My chest is very tight. 

I have two strong 50 pound dogs. I am wondering when I can walk them again? 

I know it's only been a week and it will be a bit longer but I am excited to start my exercise program!

Thank you!

    Hi Pandabear,

    I had recon, so probably a little different timeline, but I was cleared to resume my normal activities at 6 weeks post. 

    Leading up to that, I did what I felt like I could.  For me that was normal household stuff, walks, etc.  I did not resume running or gym until 6 weeks.  My PS said to listen to my body and if something hurt, then stop.  He also said stretching was about the best thing I could do.

    Good luck :)
