I've been told not to exercise! - UPDATE

So, they are trying to figure out some 'medical issues.' It's probably nothing but until they know it's not a problem with my heart, I can't exercise...

And it's driving me CRAZY

Our whole lives, we're told to exercise, and now its come to a halt. And I was good about it! I feel my arteries clogging as I sit here. YUCK

Not to mention how petrified I am about potentially having a problem with my heart! I have to stop researching this medical stuff, it's scary.

Just had to vent

I can absolutely and completely relate!
Last summer I was working out, feeling great, and then- I hurt my neck.
Just like you everything- it almost felt like my whole world- came to a screeching hault when I was told I couldn't do anything-- and my weddin was coming up! My neck injury was pretty serious and I had to go through a whole bunch of treatments to try and get better. My miserable treatments ended in February, and I still was not able to get back. And actually, my neck is starting in AGAIN and I am going for another round

It was a very difficult time for me, but I've come past it now, and learned to accept it. If you need advice or want to vent- I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope everything turns out okay with you medically.
I know its hard when you've been exercising and suddenly you have to stop - but know that the Dr. wouldnt tell you to stop unless he thought it was necessary! So take it easy and wait until you get the ok to start again.

Everything turned out OK

But a month and a half later, I'm 5 lbs heavier I even ate less, but I was sooooo active before. It was the no exercise that killed me. grr

It's back on the wagon and on this board for me!

I'm so happy to be able to hop around again, but a little aggravated that it took so long.

this is great news!!! I'm glad everything is ok, don't worry about the 5 pounds - you'll get rid of it.
