A pop and a swollen knee within hours after planting and cutting.
A shoulder that came out and went back in and now does not feel trusted. A sudden kick to the back of the ankle with nobody behind you.Or the slower version: a shoulder that aches after every throwing session, a knee that swells after every long run, a hip that pinches at the bottom of every squat.
