Everything has a price

The Price of Ignoring Your Body's Warnings
If you only feel the pain of tendinitis during or after exercise, and if it isn't too bad, you may be thinking that you could run a race or swim laps with that same amount of pain—if you had to. Or maybe you already have.
In either case, you would be wise to realign your thinking. "You shouldn't play through pain unless your physician or physical therapist tells you otherwise," says the American Physical Therapy Association's Bob Mangine.
If pain is severe and you continue to abuse the tendon, it may rupture, says athletics trainer Bob Reese. And that could mean a long layoff, surgery, or even permanent disability.In other words, exercising through tendon pain today could mean staying on the sidelines for the remainder of your tomorrows.
