suffer with mine repeatedly

Much depends on your age. Under 30 injuries heal much quicker. It could take 2-3 days or several weeks, depending how bad the injury is. The important thing is to let it heal properly before you start using it again.

Yes i pulled mine this week lifting a chainsaw out of the trailer it still hurts but i am the wrong side of 30

im under 30,and rarely have the oppertunity to let things recover naturally.usual remedy is a few pain killers and deal with it

[Peter]

Maybe thats why you suffer repeatedly.

 

Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong, numbing the pain with chemicals and carrying on is bound to make things worse.

I am 39 and have always found that pain killers and carrying on working is the best way to go!

 

In fact I am not a fan of long brakes from work, I find that if I take much more than a week off I tend to hurt myself once I start working again.

Ask youre doctor for Diclofenac Sodium, it,s an anti inflammatory and pain killer in one. On and off I,ve been using them for years.

[Peter]

I never take time off from work, but I will modify my working practices to allow injuries to heal.

Most doctors don't advice this any more.

 

Pain killers will only take the edge off and you will not be able do more damage the pain will stop you, IME.
