Running whilst on Antibiotics

[Fizzysnood]

Hi

I've just come out of hospital for cellulitis (IV antibiotics for 5 days) and am now on oral antibiotics. Is it safe for me to go for a short, slow run?

Gosh... sounds like you've been quite poorly. I would seek advice from your GP. Are you up and about and walking lots? How does that feel?

I did it, 3.5 miles - I was OK actually. I went out with no pressure, no watch on and ran the best time I've done since my initial cancer diagnosis back in 2014!

Just wanted to say that I love your username! No idea about the answer, but have a friend who has suffered with cellulitis, hope you're now on the mend. 😊

Well done! A brilliant effort. You must be really pleased!

As our ju-ju- suggests.. maybe to be on the safe side.. check with the GP first

I'd wait till you've managed a day or two doing basic day to day stuff around the house, at work if applicable, getting shopping etc before trying a run and as ju-ju- and Oldfloss have said, ask your GP. You don'y want it to flare up again. Glad you'e out of hospital now

Thank you for your reply, I'm so impatient! I did it, 3.5 miles - I was OK actually. I went out with no pressure, no watch on and ran the best time I've done since my initial cancer diagnosis back in 2014. if you Google @fizzysnood you'll see all my fundraising stuff I do for Macmillan x
