Hi there,
This will be my 8th day of post-op HT and I have read several blogs regarding what kind of physical activity is ‘allowed’ and which ones are not recommended.
Any movement involving the trapazieus muscle was not recommended, anything with weights heavier than 25lbs was not recommended either. Can I assume that doing something along the lines of push-ups, dips, and squats with no weights other than your own body weight and perhaps yoga is fine?
How about something like Kung-Fu with no contact to either the graft or donor area?
Thank-you v. much
For recovery from a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure, everything can be done. For recovery from a strip harvesting procedure, always test your trapezius muscle for contraction. The more the tightness created at the neck, the more of a problem that could be created from such activities as sit-ups and push ups. Squats are probably alright.
At this point, it is very difficult to accurately assess the cause of your thinning hair. As far as I know, cabergoline does not have hair loss listed as a potential side effect, however, this does not mean that this drug can not cause this in you. Also, certain diseases / stresses to the body have also been known to cause hair loss. Lastly, as you have mentioned, male pattern baldness could be the cause of your thinning hair. You definitely need a 
Just because your father is a Norwood Class 6 patterned balder, does not mean that you will be that. You may have different expression of the gene or inherited it from another line on your father’s or mother’s side. Since we can not predict your pattern with certainty, slowing down the loss with Propecia (finasteride 1mg) makes common sense no matter what your final pattern will be. So instead of significant hair loss in your 20s, maybe you can push it back to your 40s. If you get your hair mapped out for 
Crinagen is not a medication and it is applied topically. It contains: Distilled water; Polysorbate 20; Azelaic Acid; Gamma Linolenic acid, Zinc acetate hydrate; Niacin; Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-phosphate); Saw palmetto extract (serenoa repens); Ginkgo biloba, Oleic acid, tea tree oil, Ribofalvin, Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) and Proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract. 
According to the website of one doctor that sells it, “Topically applied finasteride is reserved for use by those who wish to block only 5-10% of the DHT activity in the scalp, which is a lower level than typically achieved from ingesting tablets.” So why would you want to use a messy cream on your scalp and not block as much DHT as a single daily pill can?
For the numbers of hair transplants done in the United States, the answers vary depending upon the source. I have read that the estimates are now around 100,000+ procedures annually. The dollar value for surgery runs somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion annually. You can find some stats at this article from the NY Sun — 
You were hit with a metal wrench not once, but SEVERAL times? Forget about the hair for a second — what about your brain? You should see a doctor to make sure you don’t have any lasting trauma or a concussion. Sometimes brain bleeding occurs slowly and may not be evident for days or weeks, so seeing a doctor is a good idea.
