Injury and rehabilitation tracker

[Chrispy113]

I’d like to be able to mark a workout or a day where I sustained an injury and from that point have a tracker that allows me to gauge rehab progress back to the level of fitness at the point of injury. Then continue toward performance goals with a feeling of having overcome the injury and a better awareness of risk at that level of performance+

I broke my ankle and had to get surgery. I think it would be helpful to have a rehabilitation tracker and a forum to share ideas for alternate exercises while convalescing.   I have made a lot of progress over the last two months and afraid I am going to lose it.

Yes please add an injury feature

I've just bought my first fitbit to help me with my rehab. Absolutely loving it, but agree it would be good if I could flag rehab for the exercises and have my daily step count and goals adjusted accordingly.

@YojanaFitbit  this feature has been requested on many different threads on so many occasions - going back to like 2014. I appreciate that FitBit is not exactly a small local business, so it may not be the easiest thing to get the user request to the people who can actually make a decision on this but Jesus Christ almighty. Surely this has been asked enough times to pass this to the development team… When/what was the last feature FitBit introduced? I’ve owned a FitBit for some time now and I don’t recall seeing any recent changes. I welcome some other comments from the FitBit team other than that we need to vote for an 8 year old post. Sorry, rant over.

Is it rude to bump such an old post? 😬

I'm currently recovering from an ankle injury and would find it incredibly useful to help track my recovery.

Even something as simple as "How sore is your injury today?" just so I can keep track on progress and also look back at my activity on days and how it effects my recovery.
