    Irishbird, you may find you get throbbing sensation which may be a bit odd.

    OS.. the answer to this may fall within your dark arts :D

    Thanks Heli,
    OP, nice to hear that you are feeling up to exercise but I would advise against it for now...

    When you do any exercise, you increase your pulse and blood pressure, this can cause the wound to bleed/ooze. It can also increase the post-operative swelling.

    Leave it 2 or 3 days to settle and then slowly get back into your routine.

    Good luck,
    OS
