Ok i was going to post the majority of this in
this thread, but i wasn't really talking about the problem.
In the summer of 2000-2001 i broke my foot whilst playing basktball. I did it during the frist half i believe, although played through the pain (mainly hopping around) and we ended up winning and i top scored, mainly "cherry picking" and open jumpshots which i didn't really jump for. Bragging over for now, but i knew my foot was fucked and that i hadn't done anything like this before to it, but i continued to walk on it a bit and be relativly active.
About a week later, since it didn't improve i finally went to a dr and he found that the middle 2 bones had a giant crack in them and where almost broken through (probably because i was still active after intially cracking it).
Anyway, basically i don't normally like to admit i am weak or ill so i refrain from going to the Dr to get anything checked out. I think a lot of guys are like this though. I m mainly talking about smaller issues here (broken bones, sprained ligaments, flu etc), that aren't life threatening or anything and will probably go away in time.
So do any other guys share similar feelings about the dr issue?
I think it must have a lot to do with the alpha male types, or maybe testosterone, but i don't like to think or admit that i am weak or ill in any capacity and am forever doing stuff that i really shouldn't ben when i am ill or injured.
i don't really know what this topic is gonna achieve but hopefully anyone can discuss something of some relevance to it
Also, any girls have anything to say?
