I was playing soccer and I had bought a nice new pair of boots.

and I went to take a goal kick because my friend is not too good at them. So I kick it with my right foot, my whole body twists, apart from my left foot upto my knee. That caused my to fall on the ground in fucking agony and was taken to hospital and its all because of my new football boots. No operation was needed but I was in a lot of pain. i took X-rays on my first day, which didnt help with finding out what was wrong. i then went the next day and got a cast on because I couldnt move my leg. The day after, I had an MRI scan, which was the worst experience ever and the day after that, i had my cast removed and was told what had happened.

I am now on crutches for another 10 days and have to start physiotherapy, but the worst part is that I am unable to play any serious sports for upto 6 weeks. i was on this great diet and my fitness was rising and i worked hard to get that far, but its all gone down the bin now, I cant even walk properly. this whole experience has left me so miserable, but it has taught me one lesson and that is I should be very thankful that I have no permamnent disability. I have two legs and can walk on them (not at the moment, but it will heal)

Anyway, Im just hoping to get bettr soon. i start physiotherapy on Saturaday and hopefully a few weeks after will be going to the gym on a daily basis to strengthen my muscles and hope to be back playing and running as soo n as possible.

Start training other body parts.

Like many FOOTBALL players who are seriously injured, they start training their upper body and stuff. And they come back a lot stronger. Look at Robben before his injury and after. Before he was like this feather with great ball skills, he's still got this great ball skills now, but he's also faster, and stronger. Just because he got to train those muscles for which he didn't have time when he could still walk.

Ive been told that its important to make my leg muscles stronger. My cartlidge is torn and will continue to do so unless I can strengthen my leg. the muscles will make me knee stronger. Also, Robbens injured again which actually makes me really happy (look at my avatar)
