    I was going up and down stairs within hours of my surgery. I had to go slowly and carefully, but it was not a problem.

    My dr encouraged me to go up and down my stairs as soon as I got home.

I also live in a two-story home and asked this same question. I was told it should be okay but to remember the carry limitations.

Everyone is a little different. However, I had pain for a few days after surgery & I was still fine going up & down the stairs. Just took them slow & carefully.
