new member...:O) broke arm

  • hi, i;ve been slow jogging for about 6 months now..have gotten to 3miles...but super slow. broke my arm bad about 3 weeks ago and didnt exercise for about 2 weeks. Doc. said no jogging...but cosh I worked too dang hard to get where i am and decided I am going to finish. a bit hard headed but at 47 figured I can make up my own mind...:O) at super slowspeed not jarring it much anyway. anyone else broke something and still working out?

    it was great to read your post on slow jogging...
  • So sorry

    I broke 5 bones in 8 months; yep it was an interesting year.

    I shattered my ankle, and it had to be rebuild. I did not get much movement in...well even small tasks were hard.

    I broke my wrist 8 months after my ankle. Two bones, and it did not stop me from my regular life. I cooked, cleaned and walked. My wrist actually healed really fast, and some say it is because I put it to work and it helped the healing.

    Maybe running may not be do the best thing, but you can really get your body moving just by walking. Be careful of ice and snow...if you live in those areas.
  • thanks...not much ice here..im in the south...
    gosh u certaintly had a difficult year...glad u stuck with it..:O)
  • My leg broke two years ago...back to normal
