Yup, anyway as a masseuse I've met way too many people who believe "if it hurts, it's healing" or that if they ignore it long enough, it will get better by itself - although it's getting worse.
I sent quite a few of them to straight to the doctor with solid complications that could be healed properly and easily years ago. Pain is there to tell you something bad is happening, not to be ignored. It's not a weakness to rest if you're hurt, it's ignorance of own problems that's mostly the issue.
