Great article by Ydot Idot Otter here. I had a couple injuries while playing sports growing up. At the time, outside of being uncomfortable, they didnt hinder me much outside of being painful, so I pushed through them and never had them fixed. Now, 20-25 years later, it can sometimes take me an hour to get out of bed in the morning as I slowly stretch my back out so I dont really hurt it when I get up. I have a left knee that not only takes about 2-3 minutes to function properly after sitting for a while, but also completely goes out on me, sending me falling towards the floor once in a while. My back is always uncomfortable (on a good day...painful on not so good days) and has no side-to-side torque in it anymore. And this time of year, my knee screams bloody murder for, probably, half the day. Back in the day I took playing through this stuff as a badge of honor...to show people how tough I was. Now I tell people to fix their bodies ASAP. It sucks for now, but in the long run itll be better than winding up as a 39yo becoming more and more of a cripple every day like me...
