how long should i wait after having a blood test and a injection into the shoulder before i start working out again?

doc told me , do not lift anything heavy for 1 day.

your thoughts?
 
Is this serious?
The doctor must have given you an estrogen injection cause if you take a day off training cause of a blood test and immunisation you are a skirt

If the doctor gave you a cortisone shot for a shoulder injury and your asking if you should get back in the gym then you sir are a legend and you already know the answer to your question.

When women menstruate, do we have to wait 5-7days to work out again?
I think if you give blood it would be far different from the small amount of a blood test.
 
i figured a day because they are medical professionals.

I have waited 2 because i'm not willing to hurt myself lifting heavy. Because whats 2 days of rest compared to 1-4 weeks if you injure urself badly because ur to stupid to rest a day or 2.
will workout tonight. see how it effects my lifts.
 
Lol at not training because a "doctor" said not to. Man up dude. I don't believe half of the shit a GP tells me, a specialist sure ill listen but a GP... Get outta here mayne

Dude now I am curious what was the injection for? Was it a shot for an injury or just a run of the mill blood test and tetanus type deal.
 
I've had something similar to a cortezone shot (spelling?) and trained that night. Had no ill effects and the needle still did the job it was supposed to.

I mean in terms of a localised cortisone shot. They sometimes give them direct into an injured joint/disc/tendon to give the injury some relief from the inflamation. If you were getting a shot for a shoulder impingement and then went and trained on it you would be
1. a hard barstard
2. a dickhead for not giving the drug a chance to reduce the inflamation before you started reusing it.
 
I take blood...

We advise not to do strenuous activity or lift heavy objects with the arm used for venepucture because...

it increases the blood pressure in that arm, this can result in the venepucture site bleeding again or massive bruising around the area, if the vein leaks....

I have never had issues traing after a blood test, probably is more pertanant to people with clotting issues, elderly or those with dodgy healing, or high blood pressure. Its a blanket statement, to cover any issues that may arise.
