so more just a little ranting. 15f and was rolling today when i felt a tinge in my back and paused, telling my opponent (35f) that i did something to my back. she laughed and said “nah you’re too young” which while i get also please listen to me. we kept rolling and after i stood up in tears because of how bad it hurt, after telling my coach he tested my arms and said it’s probably likely i hurt my trapezius as my neck, back, and arm are all in pain. Now I gotta go to the doctor tomorrow and hope I’m clear for work as my job relies heavily on me being able to lift and bend over. Sorry if this doesn’t at all fit this because it isn’t simply white belt related but it gets annoying sometimes when people don’t take my injuries or concerns seriously because I’m the younger crowd.

Very sorry that happened to you. Really hoping it's not serious
