Earliest time when I can Run **

[blitz373]

What would be the earliest (soonest) time from surgery I can start to run again.. I do realize everyone is different, and all doctors are different, but I would like to hear from others as to their own personal running time frames, and how it has worked out for them.. Right now I am at 12 weeks and would like to be running by July 4th if all continues to go well..   i see doctor on June 30th, (5 months post op.) and am hoping he approves .  Naturally will not run without his backing  (not that dumb) So please let me know your stories ,to all you fellow runners..     Thank You...

You asked the same question on February 28th.

Some doctors have a set protocol, I would call your doctors office and ask them when he usually allows running.  Dr. Gross is @ 6 months, of course every case is unique.

So my suggestion, call your doctor's office.

Mr McMinn says it takes a full year for the bone to fully strengthen and that no high impact activities, running and skiing, should be atempted before then. Good luck!
