But should I?

In the last few days I had some pessimistic conversations with people that made me wonder… apparently, there allot of players which quite accepted the fact of injuries as part of nature or as a "certain routine" that a professional player have to face…

So, I'm thinking to myself… Is it possible that those people, who dedicate their career to music making, just ignore the fact that there is something wrong??? Are they missing something? Or am I just naive?
I will quote:


"Welcome to the club of professional players… we see how people come back every year to get treatment. You have to understand that its part of your profession " - My physiotherapist.

"If it hurts around the area of the elbow, it's a good sign! And it means that you work correctly. You need to get used to it " – My teacher for classic piano playing.

"I'm used to it, I', playing over the pain" accordion player that I' working with.
