Thankyou for the Kind words Curt
I guess training is a kind of addiction itself. I don't think I have had a significant period off since I started when I was about 14 (around 10 years ago) so when you can't do the thing you love its very tempting to replace it with other, less healthy habits.
I am lucky that I have a metabolism hotter than the fires of mount doom so haven't gained too much weight after 8 weeks of inactivity. But unlucky (in a sense!) that its only a partial tear so they wont consider me for Surgery unless I pony up the dough and go private . I just have to wait it out and it will should heal to 95% of its former strength, or so they tell me.
I don't know how many people on RX are from the UK, but the NHS we have, nice that its free for us. But what a load of bollocks when it comes to sports injuries. Totally clueless.
One positive I have definitely learned from the experience is not to take your health for granted. The warning signs were there before it happened, but being 24, I thought I was invincible, ignored them and paid the price.

What do you do to prevent injuries? I don't want to hear "don't lift heavy" because that would admit defeat. Besides we are supposed to push ourselves to do better. Feel free to share your injury prevention measures.
