Now to your comments,

>>>if it is severe you cant just go about with your 'day to day' activities' as you cant move your arm at all and are in constant pain.<<<

I agree, it is difficult to even lift your arm and the pain is constant...it doesn't hurt for an hour, or two and then slack off...it is constant, never-ending, which when it first happen for me lasted every minute of every day for nearly three consecutive months. The only ease I ever felt was when I would sleep. Now back to the statement, "as you cant move your arm at all and are in constant pain," now this is very telling as Vitali showed, pretty much, no emotion whatsoever about the arm, which if he was dealing with pain much more severe than I did there is no way he would be standing around the ring talking to reporters and taking photo's. The pain would be very evident in his expressions, after all, he was not the hardest guy in the world to read, and it would be evident in his speech, which he showed no emotion whatsoever toward the injury, which if he was dealing with an injury "very much worse" than the one I suffered, it would most certainly be evident and he would sure as hell be favoring his arm greatly during and following the bout! But regardless of how bad it may, or may not have been...he QUIT and nothing you try to make up, or claim will change that!
