I am frustrated by my seemingly endless stream of injuries incurred during Martial Arts practice. From a hurt wrist that clicks when I move it in various directions, to a shoulder that clicks as well, to a knee that clicks, to a broken foot that never healed fully, to a bruised tailbone that continues to ache, I seem to be a man constructed of weakening parts, waiting for the slightly stiffening breeze to break apart their tenuous hold on each other, destroying my structure of a body.
I rest, but I do not heal fully. I get frustrated at not healing, and exercise lightly, but that either exacerbates the problem, or does nothing to either heal or hurt the area, remaining a neutral action. I have tried massage, rest, hot water, gentle martial arts, but nothing has helped. Perhaps I should just go to the doctor, but I am not sure how much they could help either.
I write this to ask you, my few readers, what should I do? I do not want to stop practicing martial arts, but I do not want to become more permanently injured, either.
