Well, I'm off the workout circuit for awhile - fell in my church's parking lot but it
is a small fracture that won't require surgery - going to first PT tomorrow. I'm on a walker but hopefully will progress pretty quickly to a cain with the PT.
Has anyone had this type of injury?
Would think being as fit will help with mobility in that area. Miss my workouts! Have done some ab work and very careful upper body with very light weights, no lower body obviously. Wonder if I'm going to have to give up high impact (I'm 63) rather than risk re-injury or any other injuries at this age - also potential for tripping on the step even from moderate excercise - anybody modify step work just on the floor for that reason and if so, is it effective?
Will ask the therapist down the road approximately how long it will be before I can start
doing regular workouts again.
Thanks for any replies.
