when can I golf

Hi I've had a PM for 5 yrs now and 3 weeks I went for lead repositioning as I was told that golfing has broken 1 of the leads.I'm on 6 weeks leave of doing nothing,especially sports.I'm very active person, 5 days a week at the gym for 2 hrs daily, doing aerobics,swimming,spinning,aqua aerobics, then my golf. Sadly I told to stop golfing.Howfar true is this because I really like golf. Secondly,ever since the repositioning, I've had serious itchiness on my whole body,turning red,something that looks like an allergic reaction.when to Dr prescibed tablets which helped but the allergy has resurfaced again.Can somebody advise me as to what might be the cause.I started walking yesterday for 30 minutes and did it again today. Thanks, Mats

My golf game is so bad that with your permission I will now use my PM as a reason for the errant shots LOL (sorry it HAD to be said)
On a serious note though I wholley agree with TaceyE's assessment ,,,,,,, darn I miss golfing but with no sternum my ribs float freely and makes the folllow through impossible even with a pectoral flap.
Oh well we all live on as best we can

HAVE A GREAT DAY

Very few drs say we can't golf, most are ok with it. Sometimes leads just go bad, how can they be sure it was golfing? I had a lead replaced in January. I have no idea if it just broke or if I did something to make it fracture, but I'm going on as I was! I hope it doesn't happen again, but I'm not going to live my life in a bubble either.

If you're having a allergic reaction, get back to the dr! No idea what it could be, but it needs to be addressed.
