The following guidelines can help you determine if it's safe for you to start playing your sport again.

• You are pain free
• You have full range of motion (compare the injured part with the uninjured opposite side)
• You have full or close to full (90 percent) strength (again, compare with the uninjured side)
• You have no swelling
• For lower body injuries: you can perform full weight bearing on injured hips, knees, and ankles without limping
• For upper body injuries: you can perform throwing movements with proper form and no pain 

These being just guidlines, following up with your physician's advice regarding return to play is a must. 

SAMPLE ANSWER: First, I would NOT expect the physician to make a sudden change to my drug if he is happy with the drug he is currently prescribing. I am going to have to start small and expand his usage (nibble away market share). I would determine what influences his behavior: reprints, speaker programs, peers, and formularies. I would use a combination of the appropriate tools to gain physician agreement on my drug's effectiveness. After this, I would gain commitment from him to use the drug on a specific patient type. After the physician has tried my drug on this patient type, I would get him to notice the success on this patient when the patient comes back in for a follow up visit. When the physician admitted efficacy, I would then gain commitment for use in other patient types. This is comparable with my current business.

SAMPLE ANSWER: Well number one, I think its probably getting quality time with the physician to impact prescribing behavior. Another challenge I think you would face is there are physicians that don't see representatives. You have to be creative in finding a way to gain access to them. If you are currently in sales and face these obstacles in your present job, be sure to add this to your answer.

In the Nuclear medicine process the doses of radiopharmaceutical administered are very small, nuclear medicine procedures result in exposure to a small dose of radiation. Nuclear medicine has been used for more than five decades, and there are no known long-term adverse effects from such low-dose studies.

As with all radiologic procedures, be sure to inform your physician if you are pregnant. In general, exposure to radiation during pregnancy should be kept to a minimum.

Allergic reactions to the radiopharmaceutical can occur, but are extremely rare.
