Hi. I broke my ankle last week and had surgery on it where they had to put in 10 screws and a plate. Im in pain still so Ive had to be staying in bed with my foot propped up, if I get up the weight of the cast is really hard on my ankle, and all the blood rushes down which is also painful. I just started dieting and working out right before this happened, and now i cant do what i was doing before. WHAT KIND OF EXERCISES CAN I DO IN BED? I would like to lose weight and tone up. Im not expecting GREAT results because i know there is not much i can do in bed. But at least SOMETHING! Please help! Thanks! :-)

You could try some isometric exercises for your upper body. Possible small dumbbells might help you tone up.
You can't do much with your leg and ankle until the doctor clears you for that sort of exercise. Try to do low impact exercises when that does happen. Swimming, biking. That sort of thing.
Good luck. Ankles are hard to heal, but you can do it if you behave yourself.
There are some other exercises you can do in bed, but I don't think you're looking for that sort of answer and I'm not going there.

Has sciatica been identified by means of a healthcare professional, or is that what you watched? In fact, each and every case is extraordinary, and extraordinary matters exacerbate the agony for extraordinary men and women. This is considering the fact that that the sciatica would be prompted by means of an damage to any position alongside the sciatic nerve. Keep in brain that sciatica honestly refers back to the agony, now not the damage, so step one is deciding on the damage. It could be great so that you can speak to a healthcare professional so the unique position of the damage can also be discovered, so one can aid you check the best way to mobilize your frame in some way that would possibly not worsen the damage. Perhaps if you happen to incorporated the intent of the agony I would aid you extra, however a healthcare professional could be great. Generally the agony will subside with time, your nerve simply demands to heal. Be sufferer and child it by means of keeping off activities that make it harm, lovely intuitive.

I strongly recommend that you talk to your Dr. in regard to this matter. You don't want to do anything to jeopardize your injury. I had surgery on my driving knee and didn't listen. It didn't heal right. Now in pain for ever. if you are in pain you need to rest so the body can repair. There are things you can to for those that are bed bound, but again. Talk to a DR.
LOVE YOURSELF
GOD BLESS
