Am now 1 week post op on my second PM after the first one was removed due to infection. I was worried that last time I'd tried to push recovery too quickly as it was great just getting back to normal.
I was wanting to know how active folks have been during their recovery? Last time I built up walking gradually to end up to be back on the local mountains after 6 week, was about to start cycling on & off road, was gonna leave climbing etc til a few month.
Also play guitar and wondered if that shoulder movement should be left for a few weeks..
Or am I over thinking it?!
Thanks,
Dan.

I had a few problems with mine so I’m probably not the best to answer your question but the nurses will tell you what you can and can’t do. Also you will have a sheet with everything on but you mustn’t raise your arm high for a while in case you dislodge the leads. I just took things easy for the first few weeks, then tried extending walks gradually. You’ll be surprised how much you can do once the scar has healed.
