Oh NO ! I'm glad that you were not badly injured! Think of your down time as a taper . After my 5th hip operation, I was told no weight bearing for FOUR MONTHS. That was some serious mental challenge for me to accomplish! When you do start back exercising, work your way into it easy. And as above listen to your body. See you soon at swim practice in Oct.

Marsh - If you're still on meds, that's probably why they want you to wait. How much longer do the meds last? (Medications can mess you up in the water.) I am still on meds. I have seen 4 doctors (ER doc - diagnosed with sprained neck, back) , My GP doc gave me script for physical therapy which I am going through now, and an Neurologist, and a walk in clinic doc that changed my meds (I was getting sick from all the hydrocodon (yuck that is bad stuff). After almost 4 weeks, I am going to pool to walk, with some light kicking for 20 min max. No weight room. More therapy to continue.

I __steve___: Ok. I know I don't heal as fast as I use to. I was told for now ICE, ICE, ICE, and more ICE. It's hard doing nothing, but that is what was ordered for a few days. Today will be my last day of doing nothing. If you know of some powerful magic... clue me in. Kind Regards, e

Hi ForceDJ: I will have to ask why. I am still loopy from all the pain meds. I am just kinda going with the flow right now. I was told by chiropractor. Thanks e

I was told 4 weeks no swimming, no weight lifting nothing. I'm glad that you weren't injured more seriously. But I'm just kind of curious who told you that...the chiro, an M.D.? And exactly why no exercise? Dan

Don’t push. It’s only 4 weeks. If you feel better at 2 weeks you can make a follow up and ask the doctor. Hope you heal quickly
