I had an ankle micro fracture a few years ago and trust me when i tell you that despite copious amounts of painkillers and anti-inflammatories, it still hurt so much that i couldnt put any weight on it, even less start kicking people during a post-game scrap.
Had one to the wrist a few years ago, while snowboarding. I had a hockey game few days after. Played 2 shifts.
Maybe they have access to better drugs but I couldn't even manage a gettle push. Nevermind punching like he was doing last night
