The Injuries Thread

[illdecide]

Lads I got a kick into my side sparring a week and a half ago.  Its still sore, not bad, only if I touch it or if I make quick movements.  I can still work.  Should I give it a few more days to clear or would ye advise seeing a doctor?  Any advice?

I would suggest just to rest it and don't do anything that'll aggravate it, if you have broken ribs they won't do anything for you and if you'd have damaged any organs etc you'd be dead so just rest up and take her easy...sorry to dishearten you but it takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover in there...hope my cheque is in the post

Your cheque is in the post, you'll have it by the time you return home from work on Monday.

lads, my knee got a bad bang thursday mroning, in an accident, and it went up like a balloon.  It's got no better.  I have barely moved of the bed all weekend, only relief is to lie with it stretched out.  Shocking painful to bend, can't even sit with it, shocking painful going up or down stairs (strangely walking isn't too bad)  I've been icing it all day and the swelling is still not going down.  Bit of a long shot but anyone know what might be wrong, what will help, will it go away in a few days or do I need to look for a doctor?

Knees are cnuts. There are loads of things that can f**k up in there - ligaments, bone, cartilage. If its still that bad 3 days after the injury you should get it checked out, especially with Christmas coming up as it could make it harder to get to see anyone.

   I was hoping for a miracle cure.

I think you would be better getting an x-ray on it Pints, would be the only way to find out whats going on

I would if I thought it wouldnt heal itself or there was something that need looked at, hate the thought of taking up a doctor's time if it's not necessary. Got the leg bent though now, sitting in a chair now reasonably comfortable but I cant get the leg straightened out now, f**king brilliant!

Is there anything you can wear to protect your shins for indoor football without looking like a cnut? Some kind of thin padding?

There's an old man who kicks them every week and mine seem to balloon up/bruise throughout the week and it can be rightly sore even getting the slightest knock on it.

Sounds like you need to raise your right elbow to remind this old man that you're shins are not there for kicking

The only thing is shin guards but they would look silly playing indoor footie...lol

Anyone ever suffered like a dead claf muscle before?  You know like a bad dead leg only in your calf muscle?  I got sa knock on it last Sunday and its still swollen and hard to walk on.  Went to Omagh county hospital yesterday and they didnt seem to give a f**k at all.

Now that you've went a week from the injury it should be safe for a Physio to get his thunbs into it and sort it out for ya but be prepared it will be sore saan, bring a gum shield to bite into...lol

I know a good way to get over that one.... try





manning up, and being a man. Works wonders. Try it sometime

Not strictly an injury but how does one get rid of a black eye ahead of it's time??
