Apparently its not just us - The Injury Thread IV

Awww thanks for asking. Successful surgery - I’m alive but in pain. Turns out I tore both my patella tendon and my meniscus



NB: come over and we can hobble around the tennis court together

 

I'd recommend doses of a good Barossa Shiraz as a pain mitigant and muscle relaxer. Heal up soon!

 

+oxy +various herbs

 

Yeah - tough. It’s the self care stuff that’s hard.

I was walking around with the temp brace no problem pre-surgery. Obviously super unstable but no pain. Post surgery lots of pain and even more unstable - although it’s only been 24 hrs.

I’d imagine once the pain and swelling subsides from surgery, I should be up and about. I must have the brace on for 6 weeks tho.

 

Isn;t it always just a clean-out? I didn;t think they did repair - or maybe it's a new tech - most of the folks I knew with it were 10 - 15 yrs or so ago

 

well, at least they worked on the correct leg .....

you do hear some crazy stories - best of luck with the rehabbing.....

 

A brace isn't too bad. I had a heavy cast from foot to crotch for 6 weeks after mine.

 

Had that for both my achilles and left tendon. Fortunately technology has progressed towards better braces. Being in a cast over the summer is terrible.

 

Liverpool have six injury absentees

Earlier this week, Iraola confirmed that Liverpool have three big injury absentees in the form of Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni.


Each of them are returning from long-term injuries and aren’t expected to take any part in pre-season, with their return dates set to be confirmed later in the year.

And now, the Spaniard has confirmed that he is also without Jayden Danns, Stefan Bajcetic and Wataru Endo, all of whom are nursing injury issues of their own.

“Probably the worst news when we arrived is that we have, I would say, five players injured,” said the Liverpool manager

Danns just can't catch a break.

Danns will not p[ay in Liverpool's pre-season tour of the US after suffering another hamstring injury.

 

Hes been so unfortunate, similar to Bajcetic as both have suffered recurring injuries at a key stage in their development.

 

That's the most likely scenario. It's unfortunate and no doubt gutting for him to be injured again.

 

Currently out injured:
Leoni
Ekitike
Jacquet
Endo
Bradley
Bajcetic
Gomez

Probably missed someone as well. Can't imagine how much better we'd feel if that list was half as long.

 

Even if Leoni, Jacquet, Gomez, and Bradley were available I think we'd all be saying "we still need to buy a CB"

 

I would be OK to roll the dice with that lot available. Not so much with none of them available.

 

this year - right?

 

I thought I heard during the WC that Endo had retired? No?

 

I think that was from the international game/national team...

 

Now you say it - I think that was what i heard too....

thnx.....
