A member asked:
If you have an inflamed spleen, can you ride a bike?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Everything you do carries some amount of risk. If you spleen is inflamed and swollen then blunt trauma to the spleen could cause a surgical emergency. Now the chances of this happening while riding a bike are low, it still could happen. If you have something like mono that is causing it then you shouldn't over exert yourself either.
