It would seem that after a while, no matter how active you are, common sense would finely prevail and you would run out of stupid ways of injuring your self. While in fact, as our bodies and minds age, common sense becomes less common and...
Case in point a few weeks ago I'm doing my morning run at 9-23 park and it's just too hot. I start walking and thinking of other ways to get my exercise and decide to try out one of those exercise stations in the park. The one I picked is this thing where you place each foot on a holder than you make a swinging step with your legs, one out, one back, like an exaggerated running motion. I had always laughed to my self as I saw Vietnamese just swinging back an forth so I was going to show them and I hit it and hit it hard, pumping one foot out and one back as fast as I could. Ah ha, yes correcto emondo just described the how and what of my most recent injury. When I felt the pain instead of getting off and chilling I got back into my run ignoring the pain and continued my work out and continued like that for a couple more days. Common sense, who needs it because when the pain got too great it told me I should start alternating running and walking and ultimately that my running had to go but continued to walk several miles every day that is, again no common sense involved, the pain just became overwhelming. That was about a month ago and now after visits to two doctors who just shook there heads at my story and told me to rest and blamed in on arthritics of the knee and hip. Still not back to the running or heavy duty walking but not sitting back as I've stepped up to traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Looking at the time and money aspect, half hour motorbike ride each way, $5.00 the doctor cost is the $20.00/$20.00 equation - $20.00 for the original consultation, then $20.00 a treatment. A treatment takes about 30 minutes, all toll about 45 minutes to an hour.
