Is it more important to suffer a little pain now in one part of the body or get a pain in the neck from outside the body? They told you not to do it but you didn’t listen and now you face either one of these consequences, which one do you choose? If the physical pain won’t lead to any long term consequences as you can grin and bear it then maybe dealing with it on your own is better but if the other circumstance occurs well then deal with “I told you so”. Yes they told you so and you should have listened but now all your listening to is the pain whether they’re speaking or not.
