I've had my fair share of weight room injuries. Each time I end up having to take several weeks off training. Hell, I have a lower back injury from over a year ago that still isn't 100% better.
Time off can be good. A day off training here and there is ok, but sometimes a week or so off is just what the doctor ordered. I have to repeatedly tell myself that no matter how bad I want to be in the gym...it's better in the long-term that I stay out. The worst thing I could do is to turn a 3-week injury into a 3-month injury.
I don't let it get me down at all (well, except for dealing with the physical pain lol). I actually enjoy having more time for reading or video games or fapping or whatever. You have to find peace in the pain...
