Loughborough Ram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 It finished Roy MacFarlands career but Curtis Davies came back from it in his mid thirties, so treatment if this injury has clearly progressed. NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have stopped right away when felt how saw it was but continue. Think I pulled the bottom of my calf and thought after I was lucky I didn't do what you hVe done. Get well soon and hope you get back playing again soon. NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Watched my son-in-law play in a charity seven a side yesterday. His team were over 40 and drinking throughout but they did pretty well. He was scythed down for a penalty and his leg started to balloon to the hilarity of all. This morning he’s a clinical emergency with compartment syndrome. So easy for fun to turn nasty. All the best Notts Ram. NottsRam77 and ariotofmyown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRam77 Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Football is all iv known and playing it has been a massive part of my life not just for fun but physical and mental well being iv always been competitive so going back and playing and not pushing myself to make that tackle, track my man or getting into that pocket of space to get on the ball would be totally alien to me and probably not be able to stop myself from Doing so. So iv not idea how i make a return and not risk rupturing it again. and the thought of walking football just doesnt do it for me atm Just bloody gutted atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I empathise mate. Played eleven a side for over thirty years for my village team. Giving up was so hard and I couldn’t watch amateur football for years. You’ll play again I’m sure but you will also find loads of other good stuff to do in life.

Thats not a bad shout u know. it is something iv thought about vaguely, got offered the chance to years ago one of the local kids sides but wanted to play. maybe thats something to revisit, my son isnt old enough yet to be playing but thats an obvious thing to look at when he is. maybe i could look into coaching badges or something in the meantime Ramslad1992 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Perhaps consider becoming a referee... OK, you may not be able to quite keep up with play, but that doesn't stop the other feckers... and there's the added bonus of you being biased towards Derby, as opposed to all the aforementioned other feckers! 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im open to all ideas atm buddy the local village club has a big womans set up so could be quite possible. The mens sides have fallen away quite some bit from what they used to be, used to have about 5 mens sides playing on the weekend once got into the fa cup premlinarys, back in the day. So quite like the idea of trying to help them get back to where they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 As a physio, Achilles ruptures are horrible injuries however as long as you follow the right advice and DO your rehabilitation, there’s no reason why you can’t get back to your previous function. If you need any pointers you can always DM me 👌🏼 NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
