When Should I Continue With My Regimen After Being Diagnosed?

Hello. I went to a doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with an iliofemoral ligament sprain. I'm not experiencing pain - it's more of an annoying discomfort. I was was only painful when the doctor was pressing down on the area. Since I try to go to the gym on routine basis, when should I continue with my regimen?

As background, I had an inguimal hernia repair done several years. I was being cautious about a possible relapse which is the reason why I went to see a doctor.

Thank you. Hoping for prompt and sound advice.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. If its a sprain, you can go back to your routine within 10 days.
2. As there is no muscle tear, it wont be a problem
3. In view of your previous history of hernia, avoid anything with exercises which increases intra-abdominal pressure.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
