Pulling car door after BA surgery?

December 13, 2017
Asked By:zskallo in Vancouver, BC

Hi I’m 12 days post op ba surgery and my surgeon cleared me of driving after one week and I want to but am nervous because I don’t know what amount I can push or pull. I haven’t really done any lifting at all yet besides a very light purse , glass of water, plate, etc. But I was getting out of the car yesterday and pushed the door hard and now my underarm area is sore. I was wondering when you talk about no pushing or pulling does this also include car doors and heavier doors , etc? Thank you!
