So, I cut the back of my scalp last night, about 1/2 inch at most. My question is, should I work out this week? I feel like if I do my cardio or weights that it is going to start bleeding again.. My head will usually be very sweaty and throb after a really good cariod workout even without a laceration. But here is the kicker I am just starting to see results from all of my hard work. I have been feeling great since I changed up my nutrition a bit last week, and have had my energy back so my workouts have been great they leave me feeling really strong. I don't want to lose my gains, but I want my head to heal ASAP. Any suggestions?
catel- OUCH! I'm not a medical specialist by any means, but did you ask your Dr. what his/her suggestion was? Maybe if you toned down your workouts and cardio, you would be okay. But I would hate for it to start healing then bust open again... I guess you didn't need stitches, right? hmm, good question...maybe someone else will chime in on this one.
Definitely continue the nutrition part though, it makes up 80% of challenge results!! :)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
No I dont think I need stitches, but I may call the Dr. and see what they suggest...sometimes though I feel like the Dr. tells me to take a week off and doesnt realize how important it is to me. Wow, not working out today has made it difficult to eat clean. I am going to really watch me eating though and see what tmrw brings. Did not realize I would actually crave a workout:)
