    Hi,

    Ask you Dr. for a referral to a physical therapist. Since he didn't give you any support in educating you on what you CAN do, I would think the next best thing is a referral. That way you will learn from a medical professional what would be appropriate in your situation.

    I'd strongly encourage you to take that step first because no one of the board knows your medical condition.

    I'm an RN and that would be my advice.

    I completely agree with christy, a physical therapist is going to have tons of things you can do within your doctors "orders". Please follow those orders though...the doc gave them to you for a reason! :wink:

    I would suggest that maybe you talk to your doctor again about what activites you can do. I know that things like walking. Household activities such as digging in a garden, raking leaves, mowing the grass and vacuuming are also fine. Just be sure to clear your activity with your doctor.

    Would riding a bike be good in your opinion.
