How soon after ankle surgery can I go to a gym?
That really depends on the type of ankle surgery you are having, as there are many different types of ankle surgeries that manage many different diagnoses. For example, a traditional lateral ankle ligament repair/stabilization generally requires 4 weeks of no weight to the surgical limb, followed by an additional 4 weeks of boot/brace use with the addition of physical therapy to strengthen. From a personal opinion, you may proceed with working out whenever you feel ready, but only working out body parts that do not involve the recovering leg. I would expect approximately 8 weeks before you are ready to return to gym activity involving that side with limitations. Will likely be a 3 month recovery before you are full strength after that type of surgery. If you are undergoing something such as an ankle replacement, that may take much longer. READ MORE
