Mito: nunca debe hacer ejercicio con dolor En algunos casos, el dolor sirve como un mecanismo de protección: ocurre antes del daño tisular. Doble el dedo hacia atrás dentro de la tolerancia. Duele, pero cuando lo sueltas, el dolor desaparece y no se produce ningún daño. O piensa en la última vez que subiste el agua caliente de la ducha demasiado rápido. Te dolió, pero realmente no te lastimaste. Si considera que la mayoría de los tejidos se curan a los pocos meses de una lesión inicial, incluidos los huesos rotos, la idea de que nunca debe hacer ejercicio con dolor tiene menos sentido a medida que los síntomas se vuelven más crónicos. Si ha tenido dolor durante 2 años, es posible que su sensibilidad haya aumentado a pesar de que se haya curado, pero eso no significa necesariamente que esté dañando algo. Si tiene dolor en reposo o con cualquier forma de ejercicio, pero trata de esperar hasta que esté completamente libre de dolor para comenzar a hacer ejercicio, es posible que termine haciendo cada vez menos hasta que no haga nada de ejercicio. ¿Quieres conocer más mitos sobre el ejercicio y la rehabilitación? ¡Haz clic en el enlace en la biografía!
Myth: You Should Never Exercise With Pain
In some cases, pain serves as a protective mechanism – it occurs prior to tissue damage.
Bend your finger backward within tolerance. It hurts, but when you let go, the pain goes away and no damage occurred.
Or think about the last time you turned up the hot water in the shower too quickly. It stung, but you didn’t truly get hurt.
If you consider that most tissues heal within a few months of an initial injury, including broken bones, the idea that you should never exercise with pain makes less sense as symptoms become more chronic in nature. If you’ve had pain for 2 years, it’s possible that your sensitivity has increased despite healing having occurred, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re damaging anything.
If you have pain at rest or with any form of exercise, but you try to wait until you’re completely pain-free to start exercising, you might end up doing less and less until you’re not exercising at all.

I had a spinal compression injury from falling out of a uhaul carrying a dresser. Got Covid the same week. Spent 2 weeks nearly in bed. 10 weeks at the chiro. No training. Less than 5 miles a day walking. I’m in month 4 now and finally able to train some again. Was I supposed to get a wheel chair and wheel myself around to get a workout? Like, can you “train through pain” when pain turns your legs off and you fall down? Lol
I have had tennis elbow since August and plantar fasciitis for months (the latter has been longer), and when I injured my elbow, I kept going to the gym and lifting weights. The are was bothering me a bit but it was tolerable. However one day I decided to do Qigong with a long sequence of arm exercises that require twisting movement to the sides kind of like when your are squeezing your arm. They are gentle movements though, however the same night I had a terrible pain in those tissues from the elbow to the arm. I irritated that somehow. I had to put some ice. From there and on I decided to stop lifting the weight and I was training at home without weights and I started doing more yoga. It feels better though. But I can feel that my arm is still a bit weak so I do not want to force it and I want to go slowly. I agree with your line of thinking, but sometimes I do not know what to do, because I do not want to delay my recovery.
I confirm by experience
