Subject: RE: Injury Advice!Honestly I guess that would be up to you and your doctor. I'm assuming your injury is such that you could still compete and not injure yourself further?
To me not being able to lift my arm above my head would tell me I shouldn't race. I have recurring shoulder problems from an old ice hockey injury. Not only does it sometimes make swimming difficult, but it can hurt on the bike. When it flares up I can't stand up and pedal at all.
My injury isn't as bad as yours. So if your doctor said you are okay to race and you can put up with the pain, I guess there is nothing wrong with it. Me personally I wouldn't chance it. |
