PICC LINE & Exercise..???

I have a picc line in my right arm and I've been doing treatment for about three weeks now. I am curious if anyone exercises with their PICC line in?? Can you run at all?? I am hopeful I will be able to exercise in the coming months...
I do have stitches holding my line in place also. Any advice would be great! Thanks!! :)

They told me: no heavy lifting, no rough sports or contact sports (right... ).
I wasn't able to work out, but the picc line didn't bother me at all. My sister on the other hand, couldn't wait to get it removed (they placed it so close to her elbow and then down to her lower arm, which was really not easy to shower, work, practically everything.

I think this is pretty accurate:

I was told to not lift anything weighing more than a gallon of milk, and to avoid repetitive motion of the PICC arm.

Running may be a stretch if you move your arms in rhythm. Might want to limit stuff to some core pilates moves.

I still had to mow my lawn in summer and shovel snow in winter as needed.

I had the same PICC line from Dec 19, 2011 to April 1 2013. Those events stick in your head.

In hindsight I should have had it change at least once, but who knows when your 1/2 done?

Good luck with it. After awhile you won't know its there, just take it slow.

Most folks say a PICC will last 12 months, but the average is more like 6 months.

A fibrous material grew around mine, and made removal a bit challenging for the nurse and patient.

They are cautions in therapy with my line. But before I knew that I was doing other exercises using more of my upper body and nothing bad happened.

I do try to be cautious though, I sure don't want trouble.

I must say though, I'm so thankful that I got the picc line it's made such a difference for me.

I had mine for 3 months. Then the vascular surgeon thought it was better to remove it.

He told me that in general its quality is guaranteed for 3 months, but can last for a year if necessary.
Since I had heart issues when they placed it (he had to withdraw it 3cm cause it was causing arrhythmia), and then I had it again after 3 months, he said he would feel more at ease if he removed it.
He assured me I could go back if I needed a new one (lots of hospitals over here don't want to place PICCs when they find out that it's for Lyme treatment, but this dr was great - he called me at home 3 days after the heart issue to see if I was doing ok).
