I am 4 wks PO now & in 7 wks soccer season starts & I'd like to play. My brother in law is a nurse & he says I should never play soccer again because I will rip all the muscle repair. He says he knows a lady who had breast augmentation & a year after her surgery, she turned to pick up her child & her implant popped out. (Really? hmm) Now my husband is all worried & doesn't want me to play even though my PS says I'm clear to do anything (gradually) after 6 weeks. What's your advice?
