working around a broken leg possible?

[Welrisu]

What do you think about training while having a broken leg
I had a motorcycle accident and I had to ditch in the process I broke my fibula
I have a cast and I use crutches. My doctor says I can still go to the gym as long as I don’t aggravate the area
obviously I’m assuming it would be dumb to just train my left leg but what do you think about training the upper body has anyone experienced this and what advice can you give me

if you have a broken leg take time off dont get more inflamed

You can train the uninjured leg and the rest of the body (bit of a faff obviously).

If you are that obsessive then yeah just go train your upper body the worst thing you can do is feel bad for yourself and turn into a addict

also in the future stay away from motorcycles and other risky Behavior that's just stupid
the dumbest thing I've ever seen is a neighbor that has four kids driving as motorcycle with no helmet
these people think they're invincible and they're not all it takes is one bad driver cutting you off and you're done and your kids have to go to their father's funeral

Decreasing risky behavior is a good start so u don't end up in this situation again

i drive a moped and fell twice, very dangerous

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

you can still work out as long as your doctor says it's okay

train your upper body do a lot of pull-ups that will keep it strong

I think you should train arms and chest

 

[chesty]

I've ran that even training upper body can delay recovery of lower body but not sure

 

[ROIDDERS]

bros I worked as a plumber for years and always had bad wrist so I would train around them

 

[RickRock]

I see no issue training around injuries

 

[Jayne Scott]

Upper body workouts are possible. But nothing intense.

Train what you can without causing pain
