[IROC]

Good advice. I've read some books and take the normal precautions to avoid injury, but I have been lax in my stretching exercises over the past few years (hence the re-injury). I am pretty physically active, so lack of exercise isn't the issue. In fact, this episode was precipitated by doing leg presses.

The only thing that concerns me is that this time it has lasted alot longer than previous injuries. Lots of ice/ibuprofen the first two days. I am going to avoid surgery at all costs as it never seems to be a permanent solution in these cases.

Thanks for the advice. I just hope it isn't really bad this time (ruptured).
