Hello and thank you for submitting your question.

Your question is a very good one and I will work on providing you with some good information and recommendations regarding what is going on.

First of all let me tell you that I do not think you did any significant damage in walking up and down the stairs after your surgery. it has been a well-known that activity after surgery decreases complications. Along these lines you have done the right thing for your body.

I think what you are experiencing may possibly be related to inflammation after your surgery. With inflammation and the healing process there can sometimes be a secondary effect on other systems of the body. I would recommend that you keep an eye on things for the time being. Try not to think about this or focus on this as well because there is certainly a psychological factor.

I am very confident that your function will return to baseline within the next couple of weeks. Otherwise I would recommend that you continue physical activity as much as you can tolerate during the process of your recovery.

You can probably return to taking the Cialis within about two weeks from the surgery.

I thank you again for submitting your question. I hope you don't my response to be helpful and informative. Please accept my response if you have no additional concerns. Otherwise I would be happy to discuss any additional questions you might have.

Sincerely,

Dr. Robert
