Achilles Injury
I strained my left Achilles tendon last night (JV boys), with about a minute to go in the third quarter. I went to my partner, and told her I could finish the quarter (which I did), but it would probably be wise to let the varsity officials finish the game. After a little delay for them to dress quickly, the V crew hit to floor to work 3-man with my partner.
Of course, it turned out to be a 2-point game decided by last-second free throws. The doc says no games for at least a week, and take Nabumetone twice daily, while putting heat to the area. Could be worse, but man, do I hate crutches. |
Just because they say a week......
I would encourage you to take your time and let your body heal. Rushing yourself back can lead to further issues and injury.
Be careful and good luck! |
Heat?? I'd be careful with that.

Get well soon!

It sucks to lose games, but your health is most important.

My first game of the season, I torn (minor) my calf muscle. Went to the doctor, he told me to take sometime off. I took three weeks off no running or anything. I applied ice and heat twice a day for the entire three weeks. Although, I feel better and slowly getting back into it.Take your time and get better.

I appreciate the well wishes, crew. I'm not going to claim anything or even seek such insurance. If I were doing this primarily for the money (although I likely wouldn't be if I didn't get paid), I shouldn't be doing this.

Man, you may be lucky. Achilles injuries can be much worse. Glad you didn't have a blow-out. Good luck and fast healing!
