Willsey Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 well they dont no exactly how bad the injury is.. you do need to use your own judgement but normally they like you to rest for that bit longer because it can cause longer term damage.. i recently got smacked in the leg right under the muscle which caused alot of pain.. after a few days i played rugby again and it now has got worse.. the docs told me to not do any sport for2 weeks! i asked whats the worst that can happen, and they said that i have done to much weights on my legs and the ligements are starting to rip or something, and now my muscle can get shorter if im not careful, so that will leave long term causes... so yea im going to rest for a bit longer.. so just watch out and take it easy mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 thats a big load of crap! if you've been riding the last 4 night mate you went royal for a petty twist, when i did my ankle in i wasnt riding for minimum 2 weeks, who cares how much you love the sport if your injured, you've just gotta bare it out!

Phil H Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yehhh that is preety savage. The way I take injuries is to get up and go for a light jog in circles - yep...you look like a retard but it does the job! To be fair I've never had a substancial injury riding just cuts and bruises so cant really comment.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 If you got an injury you gotta keep away from riding. Listen to the doctors. They know what they talk about - sometimes If the injury gets back you might keep away from the sport even longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
