Is Exercising Advisable After Suffering A Contusion In The Hip And Sternum?
I am 62 yrs old. I jumped off a 30ft cliff into the ocean in Hawaii. The dr I saw said I had. Contusion on my left hip and also sternum. I am wondering if I shudder be doing exercises for the sternum while it s healing. I am taking ibprophren 3 times a day and muscle relaxer at night only. The trauma happened a week ago today. Going home tonight to Denver on an airplane

hello....contusions take time to heal...if you continue to exercise ,healing time will prolong..i would suggest you to have some rest for few days and once you get relief then only start exercises..thanks
