Broke 1 bone in forearm close to wrist been having cast for 2months should be off in 1more week.im i gonna be able to work out soon? like push-ups?

Fairly soon,yes: Sounds like you broke your distal radius and it did not require surgery(great!) and you are getting your cast or immobilizer off.Your ors will probably get u started on an exersize program to regain motion in your wrist and your strength back in your forearm and hand.Once you have started that you probably(check w/ your doc) begin doing push-ups, etc.Best of luck!
