To avoid setbacks during post-surgical recovery, listen to your body and adhere strictly to your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Avoid activities that could strain the affected area, such as heavy lifting or high-impact exercise, until given clearance. Overexerting yourself can lead to complications or delayed healing. If you feel pain or discomfort, stop and rest. Communicate any concerns, no matter how small, to your doctor or therapist. Following your physical therapy routine and taking medications as prescribed will help prevent complications. Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint, so patience is essential for long-term success.
