It's safer to wait until about 6 weeks after surgery before doing any rigorous physical activity, and this includes swimming. You can do light exercising sooner, however.

Hello and thank you for your question. I only place an external splint and never place internal splints. It is not painful during the postoperative recovery process at all. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person...
All of the senior surgeons use to them mainly awake. Find one in your area who does them that way. I still do patients this way who don't want to be intubated.
