Just back from hospital (pic not for squeemish)

[Scott]

Pic isnt that bad but some people dont like this kind of thing:P Shit quality from phone in dressing room.

Anyway footy this morning 10 mins into second half 50/50 ball bouncing about waist height, in we go i win the ball then deck it, try to stand ouch that hurts a bit. Carried off the side and get the sock/shin pad/boot off and find the below. Trip to hospital and i have torn my bloody ligaments 2 weeks before the start of the season! Weeks before im back now, was 6 weeks when i did it years ago.

[luisax]

Ouch, doesn't look too good. Can take a while for them to heal. I had a lot of troubles before when I had some ligament damages, took me about 3-4 months it took to be back to normal...

[Simo]

How many times have myself and Suzanne told you to stick to netball!!!

As discussed... looks nasty :err: :ill:

[DarylVTR]

shittttt nasty, your ankle is like a football!!! Give it some rest, looks like you wont be playing for awhile!

[RuMMy]

awww bloody hell that looks well bad lol. pulling ur ligaments hurts enough never mind tearing them! you get the frozen peas out?

[Simo]

Better get the hand controls out for the trackday too :P :zainy:

[Tobs]

yummy.

[mike_obuk]

its the worst time of the year to be picking up an injury like that. unlucky mate

[pug_boe]

woah thats cool Scott....any more pics? lol

[S34MER]

take some painkillers and get backout on that pitch you girl!:P :thumbup: only messin, don't really do that! looks nasty buddy, hope your up and runnin soon mate, just don't rush back into it too soon :ill:

[welshy2k]

come on big yin ive told you rugby is not your sport :-S hope you heal quickly buddy stay off that foot :A:

[Scott]

will take some more pics later its starting to go a little purple now.

Hobbling about like a gimp at the moment think ill get the crutches out. Track day will be fine ill make a fibreglass mould round my foot and strap that to my upper leg so theres no pressure on my foot :P

Dilemma now is do i go to the pub or not....

[pug_boe]

yes go to the pub...it will take the pain away

[welshy2k]

thats it scott custom footbuild with subwoofers :-P get susan to drive you around your an injured soldier :-P

[Yates]

Go in hard and you wont get injured! i was expecting something tasty but thats nothing!

My mate was out alot longer when that happened to him, and it happened twice that season after he had come back

[Scott]

i havent ever went into a challenge with anything other than 100% commit, its the ball or the player. I won the ball it was just the height of the ball that caused my ankle to roll around the ball. Hence my now vegitative state :P

[Yates]

i dont believe you, i think you just jumped out the way like a girl and landed badly on it :P

[welshy2k]

or fell over coming out of the car :A:

[Scott]

lol gits:P

[Didz]

ouch looks nasty, i bet your in a lot of pain! well i hope it gets better soon and your up and running as normal!

[GreenSaxo]

awwwwwwww poor scotty!!!

looks nastys.. as boe says.. we need more pics!! and i must say thats a nice suntan u have ;)

[Clouds_mate]

mmm tasty ;)

Nice legs...what time do they open :P

[hesslevtr]

thats nothing you scotish girl :homme:

[Scott]

i never said it was anything:p

best i have had was a compound fracture of my left tibula and fibula, ever had your own bones poking out of your skin and had to pull your ankle out from below your knee? Thats something:P

This is just a pain in the ass

From a few hours ago:

[Yates]

ive seen the tibula and fibula snapped before, i say snapped, it had 4 breaks in each bone, it wasnt a pretty sight

[Scott]

even worse when its your own, thankfully i had ripped the nerves or something so couldnt feel a thing.

[S9_DAN]

unlucky mate. Looks very painfull, hope it dont take to long to heal !

[jaybiss]

you pussy

im sure you could of ran it off :P

[KAMENi]

oooh, scott. i feel sorry for you
that's got to hurt. i'd go crazy if it had happened to me.


hope it heals soon

[Dan]

Looks sore matey! if you cant take your car round silverstone I'll happily do it for you lol

[Sidesport]

Doh!

Hope it mends quickly mate! But must say, what are you doing playing football!? Play rugby! It's the mans game!!

Chris :homo:

[Deanlppl]

Ouch, is all i can say, my girlfriend done this 7 months ago playing football, she still cant carry on learning to drive due to pain, and also only does light training, expect atleast 5-6 months for it to fully heal mate!!

in 2003 i done my Cruciate Knee ligaments, thankfully it healed within 4 months , i was lucky.

get urself some private physio and some Laser treatment, eases pain and muscle tension nicely :)

[Baz]

thats what football is all about! except the aim is do it to the other team :P

can't wait for my season to start, open age is pretty physical, even more so when your only 10st and 5ft7 but its all good, can't beat a good 50/50!

*awaits many cuts and bruises etc*

[welshy2k]

leg pain and ankle pain....is annoying try having back pain for the rest of your life aint to comfortable lol....just watch what your doing buddy no more pole dancing at the weekend :homo:

[Scott]

swelling has moved further down the foot today, got a bit of colour coming out now:P

[deek06]

youll be able to t-cut that out no probs

[Simo]

The first morning after is always the worst! Looking colourful. Does that have house of colour flip flakes in it? :P

WHen I twisted my knee backwards about 2 years ago it took about 3 weeks until I could walk properly. I still managed to drive to work everyday and hobble across site on crutches though :P

At the trackday last week I twisted the same knee... It keeps twinging now. Injuries are ghey and do come back to haunt you at some point later down the line :(

[welshy2k]

lol yeah i get severe back pain if i drive any longer than an hr.....so thats me screwed going any where :A: but the foots looking great wide selection of colours

[deek06]

im gonna keep that thumb nail and get my car resprayed that colour in honour of you scott

[Yates]

give it another day or 2 and it will be black

when it happened to my mate, 3 days later and his whole ankle and foot were black, looked a treat

[mark_saxo]

unlucky mate. footy injuries can be bad

[Scott]

Some real flip paint bruising going on now:

[jaybiss]

looks wicked scott

whats getting to work etc like?

or are you off? (pussy)

[luisax]

Lol nice flip paint. Bet it's an arse to walk on.

Something to show the girls :P

[Geoff]

t cut will sort that out matey

[GreenSaxo]

t cut will sort that out matey

wasnt funny when deek06 said it :P let alone when u repeated it ;)

[Easty]

ouch looks painful, footy injuries suck..

i was in goal in a 5 a side match a bit ago, saved a shot with my leg, but he hit it that hard it caught me on the toe whilst my leg was outstretched, and it just twisted my knee the opposite way... had to get carried off by the ref and the guy who took the shot... i went down straight away, and you just know it isn't good.. never been in so much pain.. i hate to think what it's like when you break something... i only tore a couple of ligaments !!!

[Geoff]

ok im sorry

[Scott]

took the day off today as i was due some time, will get a lift to work as i dont want to drive if i have to an emergency stop then im in big trouble

[jaybiss]

practice some left foot breaking :P

[Luke]

Bloody hell mate, i bet that hurts.

[Baz]

practice some left foot breaking :P


hehe i tried that the other week, nearly gave my self whip lash!

[Luke]

Lol, ooook!

Why Mate?

[luisax]

practice some left foot breaking :P

Damn right, I tried it a while back and got quite a suprise!

[VTaaRon]

my bro and i suffer from bad achilies (spelling) joins in our right foots and used to do alot of agressive skating repeted abuse on the achilies in rollerblades = foot stuck in rollerblade for a day!! joints are always the worst to as you constantly wanna be moving them plus pressure build up is a killer! hope it goes to the yellow green stage soon for you then you know itll be over soon

[barrett]

Thats a beauty!!

Surprised you just damaged the ligaments, but when you broke you tib and fib did you have plates put in?

Never been luck enough to see my own bones come through the skin but seen plenty of other peoples!!!!

Hope its not too bad.

Give the heel a nice squeeze with you thumb and you can indent it and get nice little pitted bits on the surface from the water retnention!!!
