I'd like some advice about recovering from mono. My son had a great senior high school baseball season, but the team lost unexpectedly in the first round of the state tournament; four days later, we noticed he was running a fever; one week after that he was diagnosed with mono. The doctor told him no exercise other than walking for 4 weeks, then he will be re-evaluated.
I guess if you are going to have mono, this is an ideal time to have it - high school baseball is over, it's not during the school year, all he had planned was summer baseball (original plans now out the window), and he can rest all he wants. But, the weather is good, it's the summer, he has been feeling better for almost a week now (it's just two weeks after he was diagnosed), and he is wanting to throw, practice, etc.
I know that it can take months to fully recover, and that every case is different, and we will definitely ask his doctor (who is a sports ortho as well as family practice), we don't want him to rush it, so any advice or experiences would be welcome.
