Sorry to intrude James.
But Jjb if you are getting injured from HIT style training then you are doing it wrong.
Intensity does not equal poor form, and if the form is tight, your muscle can only lift as much as it can, so should fail without any injury to the muscle or joints.
IMO HIT training done well will lead to less injury as there is less repetitive stress being put on the joints etc.
E.g last quad session we did 2 work sets, and were both having trouble walking, both very strict, all on the muscle, compare that to someone who does 10 sets of squats, 10 sets on legs press etc.
Who is putting their body and connective tissue through more grief?
Exceptional form is the number one priority in the gym for me and James, I always trained strict and it would seem James did too.
I have had lots of injuries over the years, from grappling and fighting etc, but never a serious one in the gym, not once.
A couple of months back I got a bad cramp in my oblique doing Rom DL's, and tried to ignore it, (stupid), and pulled it a bit, and it hurt for 2 weeks, that is probably the worst injury I've ever had, and it was down to me being stupid and ignoring my body, not the weight or training style.
Maybe you need to drop back on the weight, tighten up your form, and build back up again, it will probably take a couple of months, but then no injuries and more gains,
