No energy to do anything?
Question:
Answers:
Taking medications like opiates (hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc) will definitely drain your energy -- just like drinking causes some people to pass out. In your brain, there are 'endorphines' that get released from the brain when certain chemicals are ingested, that tell your body "go to sleep"; many times, they also cause a euphoric feeling too (a 'high').
Also, being bed-ridden means all-of-a-sudden, you're no longer using the muscles that you used daily for your entire life, and your body essentially doesnt know what to do and has no way of maintaining strength in the muscles because you quit using them (cold turkey). So, your body 'adapts' to the new situation, which means that now, using your muscles like you used to is the 'foreign' thing, and your body doesn't have the strength... etc etc...
Hope that helps... Just my opinion though... :)
Well yes what do u expect?
i would say very normal -- if you have not moved in a month it will take a while and remember other parts of your body are having to work overtime to over cover the use of your legs.
Sure, you can probably cure by starting to exercise regularly again. Something low impact due to your injury. I hear turbo jam can be used for low impact. My recommendation would be something first thing in the morning to jack your metabolism for the rest of the day. When you're fully recovered start doing some strength training.
Because you have been bedridden for a month, it is normal for you r body to go into shut down mode, there are vitamins you can take that help with energy levels, they may however take up to a week before they start to work, they are Q10 and Centrum. Mind you I would be taking it very easy if you are still recovering from fractured bones. Maybe run 1 errand per day so you dont over exhaust yourself.
I agree with what everybody has said on here. Take it easy, take vitamins, etc. My suggestion to you to add to this list is go to the dr and have him/her check for thyroid problems. While it may be normal for your body to be in shut down mode due to your injury, excessive exhaustion otherwise may mean you need medication for thyroid dysfunction. I have hypothyroid (low thyroid level) and had problems for months with exhaustion severely, but i wouldn't admit it and my mother finally broke down and made me go to the dr and now i got thyroid probs.
