Question for anyone who has had rectal surgery

teslacsten · Jun 25, 2012

How long did you wait to start training back to 100%? I'm going to doc tomorrow for two week check up and everything feels better than ever so I'm going to ask him the same question but I know he is going to be cautious and tell me to wait prolly at least six weeks. That's not going to happen, but Im not trying to hurt myself again either. I'm going to avoid real heavy squats and deads for awhile, but don't see any reason I can't do everything else as usual. What do you guys think?

Seems like this would be best answered by your doctor.

I just had tears and bad infection. They used lasers to fix it all, so I feel like I'm ready to go.

fissure

yes I dont know what you had done but I had a fissure (tear in the rectum) from doing squats and it was cautorized and I was not able to do ANYTHING for 4 weeks,, according to Doctor... personally I felt fine after the second week but I still did what was instructed... I was a person that was succeptable to also and since the laser I have never had a problem with anything any more.... I would do what I was told by my Doctor if I were you... JS.... hope this helps.....
