    I would ask your surgeon about this. the rehab protocol (what you are allowed to do whenever the dr tells you). varies from dr to dr and patient to patient's procedures.

    well you have to keep your brace straight so it may be uncomfortable. you may be able to do it. but i walked after 2 weeks.
