THR TomT in recovery

[TomT]

Thanks @djklaugh, I really hope I'm not over doing, it just feels so good to be pain free and able to do cardio like this in a way I wasn't able to do in years and I would hate to wear out my joint early because of all the cycling

Hi @TomT Nice to hear from you again! My OS had no qualms about me returning to cycling. It was the running/jumping activities that he warned against. Just when I think I've gotten all up to speed and full steam ahead, I'll get sore for whatever reason. I just chalk it up to probably exercising with form that might be slightly off. As long as it doesn't continue to be sore or get worse, I ice or take some OTC pain meds to help. I am right there with you: I'd rather exercise for my heart and not worry so much about my joint replacement. You sound like you're being smart about all this and not doing anything too crazy. So carry on with the cycling cardio and enjoy the benefits. After all, that's why you did THR in the first place. Blessings.
