can you lift weights with plates in your bones?

Posted by alexandra_k on August 14, 2009, at 1:20:22

I've tried google but haven't managed to find anything...

I have screws / a plate in my leg kinda like this:

Do you think it is okay for me to lift weights (meant to target quads) like this:

(Where you lift your ankles up so take a lot of the weight on your lower leg bones even though it is meant to target your quads)

?

I think it hurts a little... But I can't tell if I have imaginitus. You would think the weights would help the bone density (so be a good thing) - right???
