Pride vs back

My back pain came back to me again today. Felt it at its full force during today's training, juz when i tried to wrap some balls for e boys. Ouch!!! Did a little fatigue this morning, help alfred carry some beds n cupboards. Wasn't very heavy what... but it still muz have exerted some strain on my back. After training i was still feeling e strain, even when i was sitting down or standing up. That's how bad it becomes on an off day.
Started having e back pain during my jc days. I cld only bear wif e pain, put some deep heat on before matches n juz carry on. How can u expect me to tell any1 something like "hey can i get a rest? my back's hurting". No way i'm gonna do that. A half fit me is definitely gonna be more useful than a totally unfit me, whether its during trainings or matches.
Went into NS n surprisingly my back never gave me any prob wif carrying e fieldpack. But its always a torture doing leg raise, crunches, tug jumps or standing broad jumps. My back will hurt like no one's business. Told 1 of my troopers i cld always try for a status or even downgrade for my back probs... But what does that make me? Nothing.
U can say that i'm stupid. U can say that i'm stubborn. But i'll tell u i have pride.
