Suffering a sports injury can put you under a great deal of physical and mental stress. After the doctors put everything back in place, the rest of the healing process is up to you. If you have to rest, then simply do that. If you can safely exercise some part of your body, then do that because it will help your body and mind. By giving your body the time it needs to recover, you will make the most of the healing process.
There is an expression used by doctors who practice sports medicine which is, the upward crescendo. If you do not rest, your pain level may increase because of physical activity that you participate in while you are supposed to be resting. To make your injury worse, the obvious way to do this to maintain your current activity level, something you should not do. Obvious side effects that you will feel from an injury include increased immobility and swelling that may continue to get worse. Expect the crescendo of pain to move upward as long as you continue to play sports instead of resting. Playing sports requires all participants to be aware of how they are physically, and have a mindset that is always focused on staying well. There are some parts of the body that are more disposed to injury, and chronic injuries run rampant in these areas. Getting this type of injury is a long-term event which you may not even notice until it gets so bad that it hurts you. If you have chronic pain, then be very sure you do something about it immediately. Your injury took time to develop, and when it hurts then that is a sure sign that you are injured. The bottom line is you need to seek medical attention and try to fix the damage that has been caused.
Even after an injury seems to have healed, it is important to still be careful for a good period of time. In other words, do not overdo it be aware of what you can and cannot do. It's not hard to injure yourself again, so if you're feeling tired stop and take a rest. Causing extensive damage to the area that's injured isn't desirable, so you should always stop if you feel any pain. Additionally you should let your doctor know about any pains you experience. If you are cleared to play, then that is fine and go ahead. But obey what your body is trying to tell you if you feel something happening in the injured area.
There are many complications when sorting sports injuries. It's impossible to make your body heal quicker than it can yet lots of people try to which is a common mistake. You shouldn't try to fight your body over this as it's just wasting your energy which could be used on recovery.
