Doing this is stupid. If your partner or you move the wrong way be even a tiny little bit you can re-injure or further bust up your existing injury.

Let that **** heal or you'll be fucked up for a long time.

It chafes my hide to no end when people wear their injuries like badges; and yes that is what i see going on here.

Yea not wearing my injury like a badge. I'm actually super bummed about mine and have replayed the accident in my head... It sucks.

I think most of us are making light of our injuries to keep ourselves positive and upbeat. Commiserating and knowing you're not alone makes it easier to go through the whole ordeal.

I already knew the techniques I was helping new students and I admit to pushing it a little too much with the position but actually goin through the whole technique, big no no, I knew I wasn't strong enough for that

I've also been off crutches a total of 2 days and have pushe the walking thing. At the end of the day yea, I'm sore.

Well, I could bitch and whine and say "woe is me" and all that ****, or I could have a sense of humor about myself and my failures, and keep a positive attitude. I don't listen to Deathcab for Cutie, so guess which one I'm going to choose?

Yea this is here so we can stay positive. Because like today was for me, a bad day, I got home from work and has stabbing pains, even though I had done everything right today, worn the brace etc. I need a place to laugh and see that others may be having bad days with their injuries too...

Sorry, I'm having a death cab for cutie day today

That's okay, you're actually injured instead of just bitching about people being injured for some reason.

I managed to go to the store without crutches today. Then took a wrong step in the bathroom at home, searing pain! haha. Well, still, accomplished something today.

You folks with injured knees need to cool it with the training. DLR -- are you out of your mind?

I sprained my MCL (grade 2) about 7 weeks ago. I'm doing ne waza with my legs tied together -- and will for a few more weeks. The knee is still sore from time to time.

The first two weeks are the acute phase--swelling, lots of pain, other nastiness. It gets better after that, but ligaments are very slow to heal. Much longer than you think. My doc said I should be 100% in another ~6 weeks or so. Longer if I screw it up again. I can't really do standing randori until its all better, either.
