Post RP, will stairs be a problem right after surgery?

My robotic surgery was in August ‘22. I had discomfort but no pain, stayed mostly in bed (no recliner) and had only 4 steps to enter/leave the condo. I was at the grocery store 2-3 days later. It was to be outpatient but surgery was delayed and I only left recovery at 11:30 pm.

I STRONGLY advise having several weeks of Pelvic Floor PT before AND after surgery. With this I was 100% continent. Find a PT clinic where there is a DPT in PT, such as Baylor Scott & White in Austin.

Best o’ luck!

Thank you for this. We live in Oregon and we will be traveling to Mayo in Arizona. I will look today to see if we have a PT here that specializes in this. Thank you!
