What if I get injured?

摘要

Pulled muscles and twisted ankles are the downside of sports and exercise. Sometimes it's hard to know whether to rest an injury, see a doctor or even push on through the pain.rnIf you are starting a new activity, don't be put off by some aches and stiffness during the first couple of days. "There's discomfort which you get just from using parts you're not used to using," says John Tanner, a musculoskeletal physician at the Bupa Wellness Clinic in London. "If it becomes a pain and intrusive, either stop and give it a break, or get some advice on technique." Around half of regular runners and players of team sports like football get some kind of musculoskeletal injury every year.
