Yes, you should be able to exercise afterwards. Follow your doctor's at-home care instructions following the surgery and act accordingly.
Don't know. Your surgeon will be able to tell you
There is usually a ramp up.. I would refer this to the operating surgeon.
Yes, once cleared by Surgeon.
Yes but nothing requiring pressure to coccyx or tailbone! No sit ups!
Yes, follow the surgeons recommendations.
You would need to discuss with your surgeon when you may return to exercising after pilonidal cyst surgery.
It depends on the kind of wound you have after surgery. Probably no strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks and maybe even 6-8 weeks.
