im a 23 year old male, i have aleft perinephric haematoma, 1cm grade II renal cortical injury, undisplaced, Spinous process fracture L1 and L3, it was treated on the 8th of may. i was just wondering, what i can and cant do in terms of eating, drinking, and exercise. can i consume alcohol. can i ride a bike( not at the same time). as i was told to rest by the hospital, but rest is a vague term i wondered if you could suggest some more clear guidelines. im normally a very active person so not knowing what i can do is driving me a little bit mad
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor.  As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.You've had a major injury to kidney, with fractures of the spine tip. In your case, rest would mean, avoiding lifting weights and straining. After 2-3 months of the injury, a CT or MRI scan, shouldve been repeated. This would show, if the healing is progressing normally and if rest is needed. You can take normal diet and certainly Chat Doctor. If you've any other doubts, send all reports to me, as a direct question.
