has anyone ever torn a muscle or cracked a bone??

i'm fairly sure i've done one or the other (more than likely the muscle) and i was wondering if anyone knew how long they take to heal?
because i did this about 2 weeks ago and it still hurts. If it persists then i'll go to the doctors, but wanted to see if anyone knew anything that could help before i did that...

Yea and he probably got alot of time off!

covered by SR's health insurance plan I presume.

I tore a neck muscle getting out of bed once (very painful although tore very little so it wasn't that bad)

Ive got a scar on my leg from pole dancing. Does that count?

I smacked my thumb 2 months ago...still can't use it.

ah nuts...

thanks dude, i was just trying to avoid doctors/hospitals :S

looks like that's out the window... DOH!

If you've torn the muscle then you'll have a large dark bruise.

If its just sore then its probably just strained or you may well have damaged the bone or even the tendons. If its still sore you may want to go see a doctor or go get it checked out at hospital.
