I got sucker punched at a party on Friday and got a massive black eye. It’s bad enough that I figured I should go see a doctor for it who did X-rays and didn’t see any fractures. He did, however, tell me to keep exercise to a bare minimum for next 3 weeks as my eye healed. If there’s nothing wrong, why should I limit the amount I work out? Is ignoring this advice a really bad idea?

Having read your post, I have no difficulty believing people want to punch your face.
Why? And I really didn’t do anything to deserve it, I was just dancing with a girl I had been flirting with an accidentally bumped a guys drink and it spilled. He flipped out and punched me.
you sound like you're fixing to get your other eye blacked
She was turned on by him and disgusted at you getting emasculated.
You do know that right?
Take boxing classes and learn to slip/dodge a punch
did she suck your balls and shaft after?
If you went to the doctor for every minor pain you felt they'd tell you to take it easy and rest every couple of weeks that you went and you'd always be resting. Try working out and if it feels bad for the eye take it easy, if not keep going.
What does the X in X-Ray stand for?
Christ
It was named Twitter-Ray once in a time. Now it became X-Ray.
Some say it means eXtra-Ray, because it was created to give you eXtra radiation to give you cancer.
>take it easy and rest
literally *the* definitive blanket statement from a doctor. the reason they say this is to cover their backs in case you hurt yourself further and blame him like a moron. take some personal responsibility, train light and assess how you're feeling. personally, I would only think twice about bracing hard since the pressure in your head can affect your eye area
Based.
1. You don't do shit and you're fine. Doctor is ok
2. You don't do shit and you're not fine.
Doctor is ok, because no one is claiming not exercising for 3 weeks is going to make your eye explode.
3. You exercise and you're ok.
No one is blaming the doctor and the doctor was safe.
4. You exercise and you're not ok
Clearly violated medical advice, chud. Doctor is fine
Doctor doesn't have to worry about 3 weeks of gains. So no matter the evidence the doctor is always going to cover his ass. Now, that doesn't mean it must be fine to exercise. But think about what might happen, like blood vessels bursting in your eye and be reasonable.
Personally I'd avoid heavy squats and deadlifts and bench and super heavy sprints. But I'd still do dumbbells and cable pulls for 10-15 reps and brisk but not ridiculous cardio
Just work out but go easy if you have to.
If it wasn't bad enough to make you blind in one eye from the bruising then you are probably good to workout, you should have also beaten the shit out of him, or at the very least made his life shitty by pressing charges.
You could pop a blood vessel and do some weird shit if you try to dl 1000 pounds.
I'd just keep your exertion to 80%. Don't do sprints, don't do any weights that are crazy large for you and be really cautious for the next 3 days.
If your doctor doesn’t lift, don’t follow their advice.
Traumatic injuries like a well-placed facepunch can increase the likelihood for retinal detachment. Also, while your eye heals you probably have a much higher intraocular pressure which can be exacerbated by temporary blood pressure spikes associates with resistance training. He's right that you should take it easy but 3 weeks is a little much.
>t. Anon that suffered a head injury at work and suffered a minor retinal detachment while lifting two weeks after
I would take it extremely fricking seriously but also I wouldn't have needed a doctor to tell me that.
Ignoring doctors' advice is based. Doctors are moronic and give terrible advice. Frick doctors
>If there’s nothing wrong, why should I limit the amount I work out?
Because raising your blood pressure could cause an internal hemorrhage
