How did you do your cruciate ? Was there contact ? Wearing blades or what at the time ? During a game or just training ?

I did it in a game when i went up for a ball and fell awkwardly.  There wasn't much contact at all. Depends on your jumping and landing technique. I did the whole craic too, anterior, cartilage etc. Pain is unbearable. No i was wearing moldies at the time, it  must be the worst injury there is in all competitive sports!

Jasus i wouldn't like to get it (cruciate) but i tore my Achilles tendon 10 years ago, i was in plaster for 4 1/2 months and out for 18 months. Ten years later i still get pain in it and sometimes have to wear a night splint in bed so when i get up in the morning the Achilles is not stiff and sore. To me the Achilles is up there with the worst but it just depends on the severity of your injury and how your body heals from the operation too...can you imagine some surgeon operating on you and your his last op that day and he's already done about 10 ops and he's thinking "F**k i need to get home and nail the wife and chill out with a bottle of Veno" i could imagine a rush rush job there and a "that'll do him rightly" approach. I'd imagine your healing process would be slightly longer than expected...

Had acl done with replacement coming from patellar tendon rather than hamstring. Good job (touch wood).

Mine was a head injury..... a complete loss of confidence! Happened while playing in Chicago in 1999 and I just dreaded going on to the football field. Never would have been the most confident of players in the first place, but to lose the bit I had was devastating. Came back slowly once I got back to my own club. Sounds silly, but totally debilitating.

I don't play sports, but I once pulled a hamstring in Lourdes.

I think I might've died once or twice.

Ruptured my patellar tendon (knee). Totally blew apart. This left the knee cap dislocated. Also fractured top of Tibia(lower leg bone). Had 2 ops to resconstruct the knee involving screws and wire. Without doubt beyond the worst pain you can imagine! Ronaldo(the brazilian) done both his.
