Doc-
A fellow racquetball injury. I feel your pain literally. I took care of mine on 2/14, thoroughly ruining my wife’s valentines expectations. Fortunately for me I was teaching at the U of MN, and mine blew bending over to pick up a ball and talk to a student. We forge on and dream of one day again chasing the little blue ball around the court. It does get better after the first couple weeks. Good luck
