Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi all...I am 19 days out from surgery and feeling great! My in-home PT has released me to outpatient PT which will hopefully start soon. She had me riding the exercise bike for 5 min today and told me to increase it by 5 min each day for the rest of the week as long as I had no pain. I know I should be more patient, but I'm so eager to be rid of the crutches and be able to drive again. I see the OS next Tues and am counting the days!!! My only concern now is swelling around the incision. I am icing and elevating but still have a " hump " ...how long can I expect this to last?
