When would it be safe to lift heavy weights with a fractured arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with dcc: There's many variables. This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on. Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.
