    Flipper Injured

    Ok, so the thing is, my heel and knee really don't hurt that bad. But my phisycal theripist still feels inflamation. He has given me stretches and strength exercises, and I have been doing those, but he wants me to take time off WITH the stretches. And he doesn't want me doing gym at all in that...

    I have to take the summer off from gym!!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I just found out from my physical theripest (I have been going there because I have problems with my heel and knee), that I have to take 2 months off!
