BROKEN NOSE

GOWAR Posts: 361 Joined: 2001/10/24	2007/07/20, 12:53 AM I recently broke my nose, and today after visiting with the nose doctor guy, he told me that I just need time to heal, but do any strenuous activity or even jogging would cause sweating and hurt the healing process, and he told me that I should not do anything requiring lifting of more than 10lbs. for 6 weeks. I don't think this guy knows what he is talking about. It's just my nose, i was going to give it 1 more week. Does this make any sense??????

A doctors first rule is "do no harm" whichis what he is doing. It gonna be up to you what you do or don't do...i'd listen to the doc. Take a 1-3 weeks off...time off could do you some good. After that i'd just do some light work for 2 weeks or so....just to keep the muscle and stay in shape. no straining, not much sweating...after the 6 weeks i'd go back to my normal routine. Even if you have to take 6 weks off..that won't kill you -------------- \"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\" You have to learn to follow, before you can lead.

I was thinking, if maybe I iced my nose before i worked out if that would prevent bleeding or trouble???????/
