Took me 2.5 years before I could start lifting at the levels I did prior to my accident.

I did a lot of light and less reps for close to a year before I was up and running again. I still pay for some lifts but i accept the trade as worth it, sort of like a sore muscle.

Don't be in a hurry, pay attention to your body, don't be afraid to take a break from activity or certain activities and don't quit, you will find your way back.
