I had rhabdo in december 2017 from the gym? this friday i will do a 2 hour moderate hike. what is the likelihood of me having a rhabdo episode???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly dangerous: I advise against and and all exercise/exertion: rhabdomyolysis is a systemic muscular breakdown, the products of which can kill you or ruin your kidneys. Download a good book and abstain fron exercise for at least 7-10 days and get periodic blood and urine testing.
