Adding the 'trauma', yes it is trauma of an intense workout to your bodies defenses will simply delay your return and may well make things much worse. Use common sense here, the gym will be there when you get well. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
