What to do when injured

So a few years ago during a wrestling meet i really screwed up my shoulder...the bone split and was pinching a nerve. for a little while doc was able to fix it up. i was lifting yesterday and I messed it up again. big-time. Some of the worst pain I have ever felt. went to the doc again and he said it could be a good year before i should life again. do you think the doctor is over-estimating at all, because i really don't want to give up lifting for that long...

You can always get a second opinion from another doctor. I would go that route considering that no one here can see the damage you have done to your shoulder.
