So I have early stage Cervical Cancer, so I had to have a pretty awful biopsy today, Because of the cramping and bleeding, The doctor told me not to exercise for at least 5-7 days! I'm going to be in a sedimentary position for at least the next 2 days, But i really Need to work out! I usually do Pilates/yoga/Jumping jacks/Latin dancing every night and Now I'm worried about not working out!

Anyone know of any Really LOW impact exercises I can do ?

    Honestly, I wouldn't do anything. I've had a biopsy (although I'm sure not as invasive and thorough as yours) and if the doctor says no exercise, I wouldn't exercise. Your cervix needs to heal, they just cut part of it off/out!

    I agree with the pp, doc says don't do anything, don't. You need to heal.

    Rest for a few days and take care of yourself. You will be back in the game soon! Wishes for a speedy recovery...:flowerforyou:

    Agreed. Let yourself heal 5-7 days isn't really that long of a recovery time. When you start back easy into it. Maybe try a recumbent bike at first.

    Well mud is good for the skin apparently. Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyhow, I agree with the others.. Do as your doc says. They typically know what they are doing. Hope you have good results.

    Yeah, it's hard because I'm a Nurse, about to be a PA, But health care professionals are the worst patients!

    & Thank you!
