Some of you may remember I had been suffering from ligament strains in both ankles. Today, I would like to give everyone some advice. If you are suffering from an injury, and the doctor tells you to rest it for a month, listen to him! I decided that I knew my own body today and went to play an 11 a side game on a full size 3G pitch and I got exactly what I deserved.
I've torn ligaments in my left ankle and now face up to half a year on the sidelines. I'm currently unable to walk or drive which will affect my everyday life and my work. All because I loved football more than I trusted the doctor. Never again. I implore you all, if you're ever in a similar situation, don't take the risk. A&E isn't the best place to spend your Saturday afternoon.
Physio here I come!

Ouch,
Been there mate, played with a slightly fractured wrist in a cup semi final with a light cast .
Won the game and scored twice but then spent the next 3 months in a full arm cast, with metal pins holding my arm together after finding out I had actually broke it along the bone not across.
The problem is that love of football is able to overcome rational thought every time.
Get well soon mate !

Statistically speaking, 5 out of 10 Doctors talk bananas
3 out of 10 don't, and the other 4 prefer 3-5-2
Eye for 1 being a cyclops can confirm this.
P.s, Automated vehicles have recently been invented.

Unlucky EMS, I know how you feel! Was in training a couple of months ago and hyper-extended my ankle on collision after following through from a shot I took. Caught the defenders knee and my foot stretched right back. Went to the doctor and I was told it may be a slight tear in foot/ankle ligaments and I should be out for about 6 weeks. After 6 weeks I went back playing, still felt pain, went for an x-ray and turns out I had broken my talus in my foot. Now I'm out for 5 months! I've only played one game this season, and its the only game we've won all season!

I never missed a single minute of football through injury then I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle in a friendly when I was 31
Nobody even near me I just rolled on a divot
And that was that, I'm sure you'll he back soon

Is EMS an alias for Daniel Sturridge?
15.) 04 Jan 2015
EMS; please forward to Sturridge

Stay strong, EMS! I had a torn patella tendon in my left knee and luckily, I had no setbacks to the point of going back to playing NFL flag football (we pull opposing players` flags instead of inflicting vicious hits which NOBODY is capable of, LOL) and staying active and in great physical condition. Stay Strong, my friend!

Dude. Danny Sturridge. You should have known better. It wasn't international duty was it?
