      Hey All,

      Its been a minute since I have posted. I had elbow surgery to remove a pinched nerve. Its been some time since my surgery and at my next appointment it will be determined if I need to do the other arm. Doctor said do post op exercises and limit upper body.

      Question is besides limiting upper body any advice for post op training

      How long ago was the surgery?

      I’d listen to my PT and Doc for when you can resume training post surgery.

      I can give aq better answer after I know who long ago the surgery was.

      I suggest listening to your PT on what to do.
      Ask a lot of questions.
      In the first few weeks post op you want to be very careful as your body has been through a lot and it needs to heal.

      You’ll get cleared soon to do more lower body and most likely the arm that did not have surgery.
      When you are allowed to do something, go slow and low!

      Post back as you get more info.
