Ice skating....or not???

Question

I have recently been diagnosed with spondylolysis... which is a fracture of the spine. My family wants to go ice skating tomorrow because it's my sister's birthday. Will ice skating hurt my back even more, or is it ok.

Second question,

Since I have spondylolysis, should I be carrying around a backpack or will that make it hurt and get worse? Should I get a rolling backpack instead??

Thanks for answering this guys! I really appreciate it! Happy holidays!!!!!

XOXOXO

Answer 1

IMAGINE IF U FALL??

Answer 2

You should really think about it, if you fall, of course it's going to hurt, and it could parralise you. Yesterday I took a hard fall and today my spin is super sore.

Surley your parents aren't going to make you go with you having a condition like that?!

And I wouldn't take a backpack, take a roller one, unless the backpack is super light.

Anyway, good luck for making your decision!

Answer 3

Your doctor should have made the things you can and can't do very clear. If you have to go on yahoo answers to find out if its a good idea, its not a good idea.

Answer 4

im gonna have to say not .

if you fall, it could really damage your spine and hurt you.

it hurts enough if you fall, but with a fractured spine it could cause some serious problems.
