    I’m 11dpo and wondering when’s the right time to start using your pectoral muscles again. I had partials but am still struggling to get out of the bath and definitely not ready to drive my car!

    Hi @tracyh70. Driving should be ok at 2wpo. 5th gear and reverse were a struggle for me for a couple of weeks longer. If you mean in the gym then definitely not yet! I had my op on 28th Sept last year and started back at pole at the beginning of December as I thought I was ready, I had more time off because it didn’t feel right (putting all my weight on arms/chest with spins and inverts) and quit last week because I just couldn’t get used to it again. I started in the gym instead but I’m still not 100% comfortable with doing any chest exercises and worry that I’m going to get cc in my right as I’ve had a little trouble with it from the beginning (it still seems swollen). Just be careful with everything and listen to what your body’s telling you. From what I remember I think it’s around 12wpo when they say you can do everything as normal again, just not in my case 🙁 x
