Subject: Quick injury/training question!?
Hey guys,

So I whacked my shin by sliding off the step into my truck.. 5 stitches later, I am looking for training advice. The wound is probably 8 inches up from the ankle crease right on the shin. My question is of course, how long would you guys recommend letting it heal before beginning to train again? Idk if the shin sees that much pressure and since the stitches are not on a joint, I was hoping my downtime would be minimal. I will keep it out of water, just want to know when I can run/lift legs without worrying about stitches busting. If anyone has experience/advice/is a medical professional, any help would be great!

Thanks guys!
