I have been out for at least a year and a half(maybe over 2) due to repeatative dislocation/subluxations to my knee.

Went to the doctors to find out the injury is perminent and surgery cannot fix me.

Now I kick twice a year.
I miss footbag. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Shin Splints! EEK!!

First time in over 4 years. 8O

Pretty sure it can be traced back to playing intensely for 5(?) consecutive days. :lol:

Taking a couple days off.

I broke my toe yesterday so I don't know how long I will be out for. Has anybody broken a toe and not been able to play? How long were you out for?

Back when I was a hacker, my friend broke his toe, and he played through it. I wouldn't advise it though.

Btw, he's also the star cross country runner at our school. :P

i broke my toe last year and i played football for my school while my toe was broken, it wasnt to bad but like Zac said


i also advise against it
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

i played with two broken pinkie toes for a while. it sucked, but i dealt with it. those arent important toes.

and i dropped a piece of a wall on my big toe and a few others... they bruised, but it was cool . just work your clippers.

just dont hurt yourself, remember to take it easy.

kyle, there's nothing that a doctor will tell you other than the following:

1 take time off
2 strengthen the weak areas that are currently in pain
2 do less repetition of the moves you KNOW are causing the pain (for example, stepping sets are notorious hard-planters and thus often cause shin splints)
3 if you decide to play through your injury, which everyone does at some point or another, first make sure that your pain is not at its height. Wait for it to subside, and then school concepts that are easier and less abrasive/ injurious

Kyle --

Do you stretch too much? Do you crosstrain?
