How do you feel if you cannot workout?

[exitseven]

I broke my wrist two weeks ago. Since i got the cast a week ago I have not worked out. It has been over a week. It is a temporary cast and it is falling apart as it is. If I took it to the gym it would probably fall apart the rest of the way. I am really starting to feel like a slug.

DAMN!

Oh 7, how did you do that? Is it your right or left hand!
I broke my right wrist trying to get into bed at the wellness center I was in. 🙄
The ambulance took me to the Emergency Room and they put a temporary cast on as well. It went all the way to the top of my shoulder.
I didn't get a real cast for 3 weeks, and only because I asked for it.
The doctor refused to do surgery to realign it because I was 61 years old. He said that if I was in my 30's or 40's he would have operated on me.
So for the past 9 years I have been doing my life with a broken wrist - broken at 40°.

I don't go to the gym but wanted to wish you good luck with your wrist. I hope they do you right. 🙂

it is my left wrist and i am left handed. It is a hairline fracture with no displacement so it should heal in a month or so.

I remember when I was sick a couple years I couldn't do much for over a week, just basically go to work, then home. I actually felt kind of depressed not working out like I usually do. Then when I started, it was like I was doing it for the first time lol It took awhile to get my tolerance back up. You should be able to do some cardio or do you mainly lift?

I do a HIIT cardio session and lift afterwards

Come on and man up. You can still work out. You just have to do it with 1 hand. You can go on the treadmill, use dumbells in the right hand, go on the stepper.

I had a torn rotator cuff and had to have surgery. It was months before the insurance company approved the surgery. I figured how to do things one handed.

You got this.

Yeah, I get a removable plastic cast tomorrow and I will be doing some cardio and leg work.

I'm very sorry to hear about your wrist. Those kinds of injuries are extremely debilitating. How did this happen?

[exitseven]

I fell down walking off a curb. I was busy watching out for cars and i did not see it. I am still not sure how it all happened.

[DishLady]

It makes you feel sluggish, but try doing at least leg work and walks to alleviate that feeling.


Feel better!!!

[DishLady]

That’s the one with the little tube on the side to puff up the pillow under your arm/wrist right?

What happened that you need the cast? 😢

[exitseven]

I broke my wrist

[DishLady]

😩 Hopefully it’s in the mend. Breaks are more annoying at our age.

[NordicInScandinavia]

I usually find ways. Focus on the parts of my body that is not a problem.

[midnightmoon05]

Can you run?

I don’t work out. Hubby n kids do.
Kids go running when our hotels or Air b n b don’t have a gym.

What hacker doctor put that shit on your wrist? There's no support

[exitseven]

It was a Physiciaans Assistant.

[jahaims]

Plenty you can do with a broken wrist or arm even.

[douride2]

I get irritable when I can't work out.
