Rob,
I am not a doctor so the only advice I can offer is my personal experience. I am in good physical shape. I started jogging at 3 weeks post-op. Personally, I dont think I did myself any favors by jogging so early even though my doc said it was ok. If I could do it all over again I would do a lot of walking, hiking, and very light exercise until about 6 weeks and then progressively build up from there. I would give my body more of a chance to heal. I think trying to jump back into working out at 3 weeks just caused a lot of frustration and soreness for me.
