The Injuries Thread

[screenexile]

Well guys I had a quick look for an injuries thread and couldn't find anything and was looking for advice.

Got results of my MRI scan back there and it says "Normal Anterior Cruciate Ligament not demonstrated indicating at least partial and likely complete rupture." It also says I've partially ruptured my PCL.

The only insurane I have is the Coyle Hamilton Willis scheme and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this scheme for this type of injury. If I go private for the op will it be covered?

Also has anyone been in a similar situation with a partial/complete tear of the cruciate and what can I look forward to after the surgery? Will I have a cast on or have to miss work? I've also heard that sometimes the scan may be misleading and point to a complete tear of the ligament but when the surgeon has a look it can sometimes only be torn slightly. Has anyone any experience of this?

I know I should be asking the doctor these questions but my appointment isn't until next Thursday and was just looking for a bit of advanced info on it.

Any info would be greatly appreciated and if anyone wants to talk about any injuries they've suffered feel free to use the thread.

touch wood that has never happened to me. but as far as i know you should be covered to go private under the coyle hamilton scheme.

Rather than start a new thread i thought i'd tag onto this one.

i was playing a foreign sport at the weekend and due to a clash of heads i got headbutted on my right cheek.  ever since that smack, my top row of front teeth have been numb.  i thought i would give it a few days to see if it went away but it hasnt yet.

has this ever happened to any of you?

Get yourself to a Dentist pretty sharp. I had a tooth went numb after a clash of heads and the dentist had to do some magic stuff to stop me from losing it.

Firstly a disclaimer.
I'm not a dentist and not too sure what is wrong with you, but I got a whack on the mouth and the tooth went numb so I went to the dentist.

If it's your tooth giving you bother I'd imagine it's his remit, cos he would look at gums and issues around the tooth knitting with bone.

If it is your cheek that's hurting perhaps an x-ray at A&E would be better.

I'd get it looked at sharpish cos you don't want to lose a tooth / teeth, as it can be expensive to fix.

If you have given it a few days and nothing has improved best to get it looked at. Hope it works out ok.

would def be  going private anyway and getting it put through the insurance,never did the cruiciate,but know a couple of fellas in our club thtahave and got the op done private through the players insurance scheme.usually do the op in ulster indepentant in stranmillis if your in the north anyway.

So the dentist says I've only slightly damaged the nerve and feeling should return in a few weeks 

he did recommend that I go to hospital though as I could well have fractured my cheek bone so I'm sitting here now waiting on x ray results...

Anyone in the know - have an irritating thigh muscle injury. Got it playing 5-a-side two weeks ago but wasn't too bad until I kicked the first ball the following week. Seering pain when kicking with the left foot and almost impossible to turn quickly. That happened on Friday past. Took muscle-relaxing drug and it took the pain away immediately with only a slight niggle Sat and Sun. Played tonight again and same thing - 5 mins and the first turn/kick and you're one-legged for the rest of the game. Is it simply a torn muscle and rest?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Aye Shane, sounds like a quad tear, and you'd need to give it a clear fortnight I'd say.

Thought so. Bollocks bollocks bollocks.
