NaNcyNiCoLe 94 Posted January 30, 2013 I fractured my ankle on Friday and have been in bed since Saturday. I have gained 5 pounds once I finally could balance myself on the scale. I guess my question is the doctor put me on steroids because My foot is The size of a football. Once I'm off the steroids will the extra weight come off ?

In fact in big enough doses for long periods of time, people even get "moon face" from all the water weight. Drink a lot of water and stay away from sodium. The weight will definitely come back off as soon the steroids are out of your system. I hope you feel better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimpsedee 10 Posted January 30, 2013 make sure you keep moving- even though you can't use your lower body doesnt mean you can't use your upper body. Do punches for cardio and hand weights to help keep you active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
