Recently my left pinky finger became tingly and kind of numb. Had to x-rays. Then an MRI. Doctor said there was a black spot on my humorous bone. So now I have an apt with orthopedics in two weeks. Did you have a black spot in your x-ray. I fell 3 weeks ago but have no pain just the tingling in my fingers. Any info would help.

I don't know why you had the surgery (fracture, bone tumor, etc..), follow your orthopods orders. I don't see a problem with cardio at this juncture, but weight bearing is a different issue all together! Again, follow your docs orders. Best of luck!
