ayudhapoojaiNov 25, 2012
I had my lasik on Nov 2nd. Had really good progress and hit the gym only after 2 weeks as advised by doctor. First 3 days I did cardio & full body workout with light weights. Had no problems at all. It was during the back workout I tried to pull little heavy weight and all off sudden got an head pain. I managed to complete my workout but the pain didn't go away. For past 3 days I am taking rest The head pain is better but still having some uneasy feeling in my right eye.Please advice
