I see how that might appear to be the right answer to some but I've been doing it over 5 years and I don't go that hard nor do I generally do "stand-up" or take-downs with anyone and I don't compete either. It's something very important to me. For that matter it doesn't seem to be the source of my problems as I usually feel a little better from the movements and muscle use. Both my general doctor and every surgeon I talked to felt it was something I could continue to do once I get the right treatment. To be honest, running a few miles and especially jumping causes me more flare-up problems than BJJ ever does. Lifting weights seems to be more of an issue too. What am I going to do? Quit every physical activity that I enjoy and sit on a couch the rest of my life because that would be good for my health?
