A member asked:
Should i sit in wheel chair or lie in bed if i broke pelvis 3 days ago? i can stand, sit with help.

Probably not: Inactivity may cause formation of blood clots in lower extremities therefore putting you at risk for pulmonary embolism, if you can ambulate and not bear too much weight on the broken pelvis until healed, then it is a good idea to be active.
