Taking an Offseason Seriously

By Rey Vetangelo


Whether you have gone through an electrosurgical procedure, an elective surgery or an emergency surgery, your recovery can be difficult. Understanding how to help your body recover and bounce back after any surgery can positively affect your recovery time.

There are many different types of surgeries and a wide variety of recovery times and it is important that you understand what you should expect after your surgery. As you consult with your doctor before your surgery, you want to ask questions to understand your recovery.

This care usually only dulls the pain, not heal it. Runners, for instance, can run for months on a throbbing knee. They learn the best ways to apply pressure and ice it to ease the inflammation, but the rigors of the season don't allow it to heal entirely with proper rest. Instead, they go at it again the next day and work feverishly after training to dull the pain again.

An offseason is designed to give your body the much needed rest that will fix those aches and pains before they turn into injuries that require electro surgical attention. It means that you finally get a chance to take a rest, then work your way back into intense exercise again.

Following your last race of the season, begin your offseason immediately. Excluding a few warm-down exercises to aid healing after your last intense workout, you should stop working out entirely for at least a week or two.

If you are going in for an electrosurgical procedure, you may be surprised when you see the electrosurgical equipment. The electrosurgical equipment can be far less intimidating than it sounds and understanding how it is used may help you feel more comfortable.

You want to give it that much time off so it can devote its resources to finally fixing those aches and pains you've been developing over the past year. You benefit from it by taking a step away from needing electrosurgical attention. The lack of exercise might drive you crazy. Distract yourself with other goals.

Read a book, start a blog or build a company. Start working on a hobby that isn't exercise related to pass your time. Find something that you've been longing to do, but didn't have time for before and get to work. You may only have a few weeks to concentrate on it, but it will help you pass the time while your body heals.

Take out your trash before you go into surgery and make sure that you have clear pathways to get to a restroom from the area that you will be spending the majority of your time. If you are not going to be able to be up and about, you will want to find some entertainment for yourself.

Many people are surprised how much a little knowledge can do to ensure that they are not fearful about a surgery. If you are still feeling anxious about your surgery, be open with your doctor and your surgeons concerning your anxiety.

Should you experience severe anxiety, it is important that your doctor understands so that he or she can help you through your anxiety. Do not be afraid to express these emotions and feelings to ensure that they are worked out as well as possible before you head in for your surgery.
