I think the point SG was making is that sometimes these symptoms can be very serious using the case of his wife as an example. In other words Bfold - GET YOUR BUTT TO THE EMEREGENCY ROOM NOW!!!!!
Bfold - worst case scenario is you miss this comp, heal up and compete again somewhere down the road. If you don't listen this could be the last comp you ever do.
