    My doctor said I was fine as along as I didn't feel any pain. I was doing elliptical at 2 weeks, and was back doing Zumba at 3 1/2. :)

    Ask your doctor but it should be safe as long as you're not trying to carry it! :lol:

    I love the elliptical. It has little impact on my joints and seems to give my body a run for it's money.
