I agree. I went down on a bike when a car was in my lane and hit me head on. Shattered my wrist, dislocated my knee, and tore the entire front of my shoulder off. I didn't even realize my shoulder was hurt until years later and had to have surgery to fix it.  Just listen to your body. If something hurts, baby it for a few days. It's not being fat, it is just preventing further injury to yourself.  But no excuses fats. I got a pound of metal put into my wrist a week later and hit the gym 2 weeks after that when I was just healed enough.
