Weight training around injuries

[qaliwals]

I have an upper body injury between my neck and shoulder blade. It isn't a soft tendon injury but it is a bone injury where I have a fracture. the doctor wants to put me on prednisone but I refused and I want to heal it naturally

do you think I can still work out around the injury or should I just take a break for a couple weeks

 

[stevesmi]

don't mess with prednisone unless it is absolutely necessary!

my advice is stop training for a while, let it heal up.

i try not to train when i'm injured at all, do yoga and pilates instead

 

[JasonPriest]

you should take a couple weeks off and see if the injury gets better

Take time off or work lower part of your body

Take the time off

Don't pressurize your body....give it enough time to rest and heal....

Take some time off let the body recover and heal!!

Don't risk it man. Just take time off to heal. The gains you would make in the 12 weeks or so you are off are not worth the risk of setting yourself back even further.
