Hi KP

Looks like your mending nicely :)

I was told by the wl team at Homerton not to do any exercise such as swimming or gym until week 6 post op.

I have to say,personally my internals dont feel healed enough to even consider trying any light exercise at the moment. You're not meant to be lifting or bending yet really either.

Good luck Xx

Yup, I was told to wait till I'd had clearance at my 6 week post op check up too.

I was also advised 6 weeks and joined the gym at 6 weeks but have only managed to go twice! Ive been swimming a couple of times as well though in the last couple of weeks and been absolutely fine,

If you feel well, you could do some walking for now, but I wouldnt risk anything else just yet xx
