What would you do? (A question for experienced Judokas)


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

Later tonight I am going back to the Judo school to talk to the instructors about it. They're all talented instructors and I believe they'll point me in the right direction. But I will still be considering everything you have said during my conversations tonight.

Wish me luck.

I went back last night and talked to the instructor. He said that if he were in my shoes he would definitely go back and take it up again. I'll be starting again next Tuesday. I was working on my blue belt when I had to stop. Thanks for your help, everyone! Wish me luck.

I see what you're getting at. I'm not sure if I was clear on the question though. I have reason to believe the Judo caused it and that I have a 50/50 chance of it recurring by returning to Judo and I can't decide on my own whether to take that risk or not so I'm asking what you would do.

If I may ask, do you or your family have any history of blood clots? Im not saying that Judo did or did not do it, just seems a little weird to happen. I have never seen or heard of this happening before in Judo but I guess anything can happen.

This type of clot is usually caused with some kind of injury to the vessel.

My family does not have a history of blood clotting. The only other clot related problem in my family is my uncle who ate fast food and smoked two packs of cigarettes every day for several years up to his stroke...and still smokes. So I don't think that was a genetic problem.

I would. I've been nursing a re-occurring shoulder injury (I've got a tear in my right rotator cuff) for 8 weeks now, and will be returning to both karate and judo next week. I can't wait... :)

Yes. It's a freak incident that will be unlikely to repeat itself. Just monitor your body and make sure not to wait so long to get an injury checked out. But you should certainly go back.
