A member asked:
Have dorsal wrist fracture,getting married in 11 weeks;worried about muscle atrophy & muscle tone- obviously want to look my best & now can't exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat the fracture: first and foremost. Second at a time and point ones progress there may a role for resumption of aerobic activity and certainly working on one core and lower extremities. Vigourous activity however can lead to increased blood flow and at times pain and swelling in the injured upper extremity so make sure one can tolerate this and speak to your treating physician regarding specific precautions
