Really Annoying Injury Sagas

I am totally and utterly frustrated by my shocker of an injury run!

Let me explain.

(All the following was sustained playing rep bball)

October last year I had a grade 2 tear of my medial ligament in my knee which I was instructed to heal naturally which I was fine with becuase it was the end of the season. When it healed, I went back for really light pre season training and tore my meniscus cartilage. I went to see an orthopaedic surgeon and had a few MRI's done on it and now they say ive done something to the growth plate in the same knee as well.

Basically ive been in pain and unable to play anything or run around since October last year. That 6 freaking months!

Has anyone had a run of injuries like this? Im just so frustrated. Something like this always seems to happen just when im getting things right.

I used to play cricket at Yorkshire 15. I broke my shoulder once, took a couple of months for it to heal, started bowling again, broke it again, and that was that career over for ever.

Apart from a recent broken foot taking a p*ss annoying 6 weeks to heal, that's it.

It sucks being on the sidelines, but if you can come back from it at some point, things could be worse. Chin up!

i was out with a lower back injury for a while, really annoying, so know how u feel, best advice though (as you probably know) is to not push yourself too hard, because its u who suffers!
