Without wishing to be facetious wouldn't your surgeon be the better person to ask?
I had two stents in my heart 8 years ago. I did a 50 mile ride a week later. But talk to the doc first.
Just yesterday I had a stent implanted in my leg. I can drive and walk. Has anyone else had a similar operation, as my question is : “ How long before I can cycle again ?” Any feedback greatly welcomed.
Contradictory advice ensures that the patients place is in the wrong, if you complain about it you're likely to get told you're unable to cope with conflicting information like I was. When I was blue lighted into A&E the consultant told me to knock the cycling on the head until I'd seen cardiology, but when I fetched up at cardio outpatients I was criticised (in writing to my GP) for being uncooperative, and not continuing to cycle.one surgeon said “ give it two weeks” and another surgeon didn’t like the idea of me cycling again
As a child I had it drummed into me by a psychiatrist to ignore my symptoms if I felt unwell. As a result, at 60 I now I have numerous permanent health problems. The first time I was in A&E I was criticised for leaving it too long before calling an ambulance, but then when I called ambulances promptly on subsequent occasions I got sniped at for being a frequent flyer.A very senior neuro sister who understood my real depression told me to ride and listen to my body.
You should ask your consultant not a bunch of cyclists. Didn't you see a doctor on Saturday?
I've a stent in my heart. It was five months before I before I rode again. I tried after three months and it didn't feel right so I waited.
I've partial clip in my brain following an aneurysm bursting in January. I'm still awaiting the final sign off but I'm riding again. The consultant said don't ride. A very senior neuro sister who understood my real depression told me to ride and listen to my body.
If you don't speak to a doctor the only advice anyone can give is listen to your body.
