    verb
    Present participle and gerund of injure.

    The pitcher risked injuring his shoulder by throwing so hard in the cold.

    Repeatedly injuring the same muscle can lead to long-term damage.

    Note

    Because every meaning of injure is transitive, the -ing form normally carries its object with it: injuring his shoulder, injuring a reputation. It works as a participle after be (she was injuring herself) and as a gerund in noun positions (injuring the same muscle is risky). The silent e of injure drops before -ing. Its objects range over bodies, things, and people wronged by injustice.
