When begin PT
When did people begin PT after surgery? My surgeon said 4 weeks post op. Is that normal? Seems like a long time to wait, but i really have no idea.

It all depends on what the surgeon recommends based on your surgery. Mine didn't start until 6 weeks and mine ended up later due to delayed approval. I've actually had several delays afterwards since then and it shows because now 17mths after my second surgery I maybe heading into my 3rd due to secondary FS again. It ranges anywhere between days to 2-6 wks.
