A member asked:
I fractured my wrist and the doctor put me in a cast for two weeks how long should i wait before lifting weights again ?

Ask that doc: There is no one size fits all answer in such a case.You need to follow up with the treating doc to see if the treatment is successful before returning to any activity that would stress that site. Failure to properly heal would require additional treatment & stress too soon could re-injure the involved site & lead to chronic problems.
