Now whenever I do high kicks/my head lvl, I seem to re-injure my legs no matter how stretched out-(weeks prior of stretching) I am. I talked to my doc and he said it sounds like I may have Calluses on my tendons which could take years to heal.

Does anyone have experience with this?
What helped you heal the fastest?
I no longer do a MA that believes in high kicks, but I do want to eventually mix it up a little and visit other schools, should I just not go to schools that do high kicks? Rather in other words, is a school worth going to if they do not have the ability to train you affectively without high kicks?
You: Doc it hurts when i do high kicks
Doc: Dont do high kicks

lol...sorry i had to say it
