Maybe. We can add what workouts have been good to modify with......touch I'm on day 5 of my most current injury and i know I need a gentle wo today ....feels like a horse trampled on my chest and my leg and foot are are swollen and black an blue as well as escaped........it sucks that it has to get worse before it gets better, but that's the truth.

This is timely for, me, unfortunately.
I have had my share of aches and pains and back troubles, but my most recent "injury" is a posterior vitreous detachment (which sounds scarier and worse than it really is) http://my.clevelandclinic.org/servic...ous-detachment but, the symptoms are scary as they mimic a retinal detachment or tear. I'm also more prone to a retinal tear/detachment for about 6 weeks - I'm at week 2, right now. So, only four more to go (in theory). My eye dr. recommended that I avoid heavy lifting, jogging (or other impact exercises) and inversions until I pass the "danger" point. So, while not tragic, this has been an "interesting" experience. My only real symptom/problem right now is a bunch of new floaters in my affected eye. I am thankful for each day that I don't have further problems! Donna |

Hi, Sherri, I hope you are back to your old self soon enough.
As for me, I am indeed working on recovery at the moment. I've had this achy left shoulder for longer than I can even remember (years!), and it was really starting to wear on me lately, so I finally saw my doctor a few weeks ago. X-rays came back fine so she prescribed 4 weeks of p.t. (I'm beginning week 3 now) and we'll see what happens. I am feeling better, but not 100%. If p.t. doesn't work, my doctor wants me to get an MRI. So--lately I've been doing p.t. for my shoulder on a daily basis (sometimes twice a day), plus p.t. for my lower back and knee. P.t. has now become a total body workout for me and it's quite time consuming, so I haven't been doing too much else in the way of workouts. Some walking and...well, really, that has been all I've done. Today I've picked out some DVDs that I consider 'fun' (they are short, too--mostly 20 minute or less), and that I am hoping will help motivate me to get back into the game of regular exercise. Take care and hugs to everyone who is struggling. Donna

Seems like so many of us are recovering from something. I think this is a positive thread in that those of us who can are modifying and still working out around our injury.
I think it's a credit to VF and the support we give each other. Funny, I used to hardly ever use my lower body workouts because upper body is what I need. Now that I have to eliminate a lot of upper body, I'm rediscovering some nice workouts for lower body that I ignored. |
