Re: Swinging arms with a back injury/

[Guest guest]

,

It could aggravate your muscular injury. A lot of the muscles and

ligaments in the back are connected to the arm and the side, and they

all act together to make motion possible. A good idea is to look up

the particular area that was injured, so that you can see what muscle

groups are surrounding it, what areas it's linked to, etc. That will

give you a better understanding of cause and effect.

Although I don't know where your particular injury is, I'm going to

err on the side of caution and agree with your wife. The swinging of

your arms does include the use of back muscles. I would also have a

talk with your doctor, find out what your do's and don'ts are, and

what you can do to help your injury heal faster. He or she may have

some PT exercises that you can safely do to help speed your healing!

Hope this helped some!
