Don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly

That's a professional opinion, but if you don't trust me, go to more good physios and also traumatologists to see what they tell you. Or search here in the net. At least my conscience is clean.

Thank you, I appreciate your professional advice. I have added it to the factors that are going into whether or not I continue, and now I'm leaning towards giving it up. It's going to be harder to give up kicking when I'm stressed, but thanks to you, I'll probably start stretching after each session.
