Question 4

experiencing chest pains near my breast when jumping rope. i am fit. went running 1km for quick warmup and incline sprints. that was fine. but the moment i started skipping, it was painful. went to krav maga for an hour afterwards - also fine. help?

Accepted Answer

Not likely cardiac: Sounds like a musculoskeletal problem based on description.  Try simple remedies first like ice or heat , anti-inflam medications and perhaps more support to the chest wall when jumping.  If the symptoms persist or if additional symptoms develop such as shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, etc, then stop physical activity until you are evaluated in-person by a qualified clinician

Question 5

hi i`ve heard that jumping rope and and running and other cardio ex. are so bad for girls because makes the uterus to get down from its place?helpppp

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Strenuous exercise does not usually cause uterine or vaginal prolapse unless there is already a prolapse problem.  Uterine and vaginal prolapse occurs mostly in women who have had vaginal deliveries.  Most women will not have any significant prolapse until or unless the have had vaginal deliveries of their children.

Question 6

it's week 14 of open surgery, mesh for inguinal hernia and i was wondering can i return to running and jump rope. also at this point should i be worried about getting a recurrent hernia from lifting weights, jumping, or sneezing?

Accepted Answer

Mesh &amp; hernia repair: Surgeons are obliged to provide post-operative advice to patients. Should be able to resume full activities 3 months after hernia surgery. Unusual to require mesh for open inguinal hernia surgery in young men as is designed more for use in minimally invasive laparoscopic repair. Combining mesh with open repair should provide an extra layer of suecurity. Feel safe.

Accepted Answer

CHEST PAIN: Does he have a heart problem before? If not, have him checked if persistent. Occasionally they have chest pain with too much exercise.
