Hi all just some advice. Iv got my first fight in just over a weeks time. The other day i felt something go in my shoulder. My left feels like its going to pop out is the only way i can explain it! And since then iv also was doing sprints and put my hand out to save me and iv strained my left wrist and elbow. Now im not very experience so needed all the sparring i could get. Is toughing it out and working through these injuries a good idea or should i just accept i wont be fighting in a week and rest? Im worried about letting the gym down too! Cheers guys
Did you actually dislocate the shoulder? I did when I was about 11/12 and every so often when I do a fast movement with it, say a jab or hook, it feels like it jams. I just carry on, but if it actually came out the socket go to the doc coz you may have done damage. Sprains in my experience are just annoying niggles. I would personally carry on, unless I can't move freely or it's swollen. That's just what I'd do. Only you know your body and its limits.
Pull out and avoid possible injury or fight and risk possible long term injury. Hmmmm. Whats the point of fighting if you're not 100%? If you pull out due to an injury/possible injury only idiots would not respect that.
cheers to both responses but its been sorted tonight! I went to boxing and within 10 mins i realised the shoulder is no good and needs rest, so i was only worried then about letting the trainer and club down but he was really understanding said he didnt have an oppenent for me as the one they offered up at the other club was far too experienced and it would have been stupid to throw me in with him so theyve told me to rest up and theres another one in july!
