I think it's really important to learn the difference between working out sore and working out hurt.
Your muscles will get sore from use. Oftentimes your body will let you know it isn't fun to lift heavy objects. That is completely different from being hurt. An injured part needs to be properly taken care of and\or not used until healed. It is very important to be able to tell the difference if you don't want to get injured, possibly permanently.
People (guys especially) have been taught to just grin and bear pain without complaining, and sometimes the "manly" thing to do is to be smart and not mess yourself up.
