Morning, I tried asking a nurse on this site but no reply. Do you think I could use an exercise bike 2 weeks after turbt? The muscles in my legs look awful. Thanks sue.
Hi Jane,
Thanks for the info. I will definately leave it for now. How are you? Is your mum still being looked after? Also is your back any easier?
You could cycle gently perhaps, but might be better to find another way of exercising legs without stressing abdomen too much. Don't worry, you will be able to pick up more active exercise soon.
Nooooooo don't do it! I wouldn't even strain for a weeee, I tried & boy was I in pain, hyperventilating .... Luckily I was still in hospital at the time. I'd do a bit of gentle walking, it's totally different being outside to inside, so take it easy x
Thanks for that. I'm not doing it. Just some walking for now.
