Folks, this thread is asking for help about an injury. Tempting as it may be to continue with the "great" debate here, I'd hate to see an update or on topic post get lost in the shuffle - this particular discussion has a way of blowing up rather quick. If you would kindly utilize the search function, you can find plenty of live vs f/t threads. Most of the arguments have been hashed out to the point of becoming almost mindlessly repetitive but, if you feel you have something new or enlightening to add, please feel free to bump the appropriate posts.
Here are a couple threads to get you started if that's the direction you'd like to take:
