Help! I can't move...

I have a stress fracture in my left freakin foot. The doc gave me this moon boot that I am to wear for 2 months.

Has anybody ever had a stress fracture. I can't run or even ealk until it is healed. What can I do, stationary bike?

Can I do leg lifts?

I would think any non-weight bearing activity would be okay (but I am no doc!). Maybe try swimming? Water aerobics? Does your gym have a UBE (upper body ergometer, a "bike" for the arms)? UBEs are HARD!

Legs lifts are probably fine, maybe do them with a rubber band (the weight lifting kind, not the office kind, lol) ?????

Thanks very much! I have seen people use the UBE, I'll give it a go. This happened when I was on vacation, when I was eating thinking I would work it off when I got home. So now I'm home and I can't work it off. Bugger!!

Poor you.... I know being injured SUCKS. Now is a good time to try new things - maybe even pilates or yoga?
