I think you'll hear a variety of stories, confirming only that it varies
with the individual. I have to remember back a ways, personally (which may
itself invalidate the data, since medical tech has advanced since then) but
ISTR it was a couple of weeks before I was comfortable "clenching" for
extended periods, and longer than that before pressure (such as compression
from cycling shorts) was tolerable for very long.
But once the incisions have healed (a few days) and the swelling (if any) is
gone, it will do no harm to try -- only to push the issue if it hurts too
much. Don't sign up for any races or schedule your car into the shop around
then.
