A lot of small injuries just need a minute or two of "walking it off" to get better. Haven't you ever turned an ankle that required you to walk around for a minute for the pain to subside and then you could resume normal activity? It's happened to me several times. Another example, a dislocated finger can be fixed in about 30 seconds on the sideline with no long-term danger to the player. If he can stand the pain, why not let him play? [/QUOTE]
