So Im having some rough times. Just had surgery on my wrist 4 weeks ago for a torn cartilage and am in the middle of the healing process, when I discovered that I will probably need to have surgery on my shoulder. It started bothering me a little bit after my wrist did and my attempts at rest and rehab have been completely unsuccessful. I am seeing a specialist to get his opinion, but I am almost positive I will need surgery. This means some serious time off. I have already been off a little more than 2 months for my wrist and it will be another 3 months till its healed and I can do shoulder surgery, which is going to be more months off. Bottom line, Im gonna be out the gym for awhile. In an effort to keep my muscle mass, I am considering doing a long cycle, maybe 20 weeks, during this time being out, in an effort to slow down the muscle loss and hopefully keep some mass. I have already lost around 20 pounds because of the wrist, and I cannot imagine what 6 more months is going to do. Any thoughts, pros and cons, on doing this?
