I found this at Discussbodybuilding.Com:

Injury Forum

As always, be careful and cross reference info from several sources. Some of the exercise threads may be useful but may just as well be harmful since they weren't written be trained proffesional. For instance there is a thread with Rotator Cuff rehab exercises that has isometrics but then goes on to describe methods that are NOT isometric, so take things with a grain of salt.

There are personal experiences there as well so that is good.

*Edit* I've been looking over the injury forums at several different sites and I have to say most of the advice sucks pretty bad. Definitely not how you should get most of your info. I'm seeing things like "I strained/pulled a muscle." Advice: "Start stretching it." Hmmmm. Right. I think what happens is that people recover (or think they do) from one or several injuries despite lack of professional advice and they think that makes them an expert.

I myself had a VERY bad sprained ankle once. My foot swelled up so badly my toes actually disappeared. My treatment consisted of, um, pretty much nothing. I started putting weight on it almost immediately despite the severe pain. It recovered. So there you go, I'm an expert. When you sprain your ankle my advice is to pretty much ignore it. Or you could be smart and ignore my advise!
(with a point)
