Competing and Tournaments Timeline of a Judo injury

This is a timeline of a Judo injury I am going through now. It was from Tai Otoshi defense. My opponent was strong, and his Tai Otoshi is strong (which I knew), but I have strong defense for Tai Otoshi, so it was a chess match.

The timeline is roughly 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours.

I was outweighed by quite a bit. I didn't factor in the added weight in my defense, which led to the audible tearing sounds that happened twice during the match. I fought the last minute one-handed because I knew the tournament was over for me but my opponent deserved to say he won with me giving my all.

I'm back in training already, but obviously avoiding that entire half of my body. It's a great opportunity to work on one handed foot sweeps.
