Hi Jayegirl
Sorry to hear about your injuries. I had a really bad knee strain and was off of work for 3 weeks. 1 week in bed enforced rest as it was so bad. That was on doctors orders. before the injury I exercised and when I got a bit of pain I decided I wasn’t going to give up at the first hurdle…….my advice is now listen to your body!
I still played table tennis on Wii sports sitting on a computer chair after a couple of weeks. I played it for about 30 minutes at a time.
You can buy a second hand console for £10.50 upwards on eBay.
I used to work with disabled students who used to use the wii fit game with a walker. The Wii fit game is addictive at first and I did it to get them out of their chair. I have to say it is not serious exercise, but it is better than nothing. I lost weight doing it!
I hope you find something. Maybe ask the doctor about exercise classes for people with back problems, if you are quite overweight doctors are usually very willing to help. I can’t speak highly enough about my doctor.
Good luck with finding something.
