What Is My Rugby Disaster?
My Rugby Disaster
It was just only minutes into the game, On the pitch, the ruck was formed, I took the pass of the scrum half , I was tackled and landed awkwardly, then two others from the other side fell on top of me and I felt a crunch in my shoulder. Instantly the unbearable pain began and the pain would stay for a long time. Two to four weeks and you will be playing rugby again I was told. Eight months later until I played my first game of rugby – only by chance. Doctors, nurses and physiotherapists could not get it right. Every time I was given a different diagnosis. It was a long time before I got a set diagnosis. I had a sternoclavicular dislocation at the growth plate, so in other words I dislocated my collar bone in the unlikeliest

You know when it is a major injury or a minor injury when it occurs. I knew mines were major when it happened, but I told myself otherwise. After I injured myself, I had the choice of going to the hospital, and that was an easy decision. No thanks every time I go it’s usually severer but the hospital does an exceptional job and that’s why they are there. I got home and I was in agony, struggling I was made to go to the hospital in the morning. While being driven there every dip, bump and corner in the road was felt with extreme pain. It definitely was the right decision to go to hospital, but I cannot stand the waiting and what the possibility of how awful the results could be. I was delaying the inevitable. So when I was there in the morning it was quiet. I went through very swiftly going to get x-rays and people examined it before getting diagnosed and I explained what happened. I struggled to pinpoint where it was, due of the overall pain and swelling. I had been told I damaged and torn muscle. It was like I was rushed through as they did not have an expert on hand at that time of the year, but back then I thought well that was lucky and would get a little break for a while away from rugby, what an idiot I

    ‘Davo Dickson’ was thrown from a bull during his training one afternoon. He was tossed into the steel cattle yards, screaming in agony he clutched his right forearm which clearly showed signs of bone deformity. Davo is in immense pain and has obvious signs of bone deformity; these are all clear symptoms that he has either broken his right forearm, or at the least fractured it.

    Finally, make sure remain patient with yourself. Remember, you are suffering from an injury and injuries take time to heal. No matter what you do, you won't be able to heal overnight. In fact, it usually takes about a month for most sports injuries to heal according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. So go easy on yourself and don't push too hard. If something hurts when doing your exercises, ease up. For example, when you are stretching make sure you do not stretch so far that you are in constant pain. Just make sure that you…

    I made my own decision that I would continue to play football, after I got done with recovery. Probably asking in your mind,”Well why do you have to go to rehab?’’ Good question, It was my first game back from my first mishap, where I dislocated my shoulder. I had been playing a little that night,but not a whole lot because it was my first game back and I didn't know much about the position I was playing. It was kickoff, and I was on the very end of the field, in my position ready to make the tackle,bound and determined i was gonna make it. I made the tackle, but it didn't go the way i had planned it to go. Instead of making the tackle and standing up and cheering with the team, I made the tackle and laid on the ground in so much pain i thought…

    According to a Safe Kids Worldwide study based on hospital emergency room reports from 2012; there are an estimated 1.35 million students in the United States that seriously injure themselves each year. For two out of my three years of high school, I have been piece of this grim statistic. My sophomore year I fractured the left side of my fifth lumbar vertebra located in my lower back. This was caused by running too hard. Then the next year, the right side of the fifth lumbar vertebra was fractured too. Both of these injuries brought an abrupt halt to my cross country season. Fracturing my lower back was an extremely difficult experience that has taught me how to deal with adversity.…

    My mother decided I should see a specialist in Nashville after not being satisfied with our local doctor’s diagnosis. When I arrived at the doctor's office, I explained to the doctor in detail what had happened and he immediately recommended an MRI. Vividly I remember laying down as they pushed me into the colossal machine. It was miserable lying completely still like a statue for an hour while hearing the loud clicking noise of the massive machine. A week later, I went back to the doctor to get the results. He informed me that I had a tear in my labrum and that it would require surgery. But it wasn't the worst news. He then explained that he did not recommend that I play football ever again. When I heard those words, it was like the entire world stopped for a few seconds. I was heartbroken. Not being able to play the sport I fell in love with when I was just 7 years old made me feel dejected. I didn't know how I could live without playing football, but I had to accept my new reality. I had the surgery at the beginning of my sophomore year. After months of physical therapy, I was ready to find a new sport to play. Shortly thereafter, a friend introduced me to the game of…

    I was at practice one Wednesday night of January the 11th, in the middle of a defensive drill In which I planted my foot and put all my weight on it ready to turn the ball handler. Then made a quick few steps then dropped to the hardwood I was in a world of hurt. I quickly grabbed at my leg grimacing with pain as my head laid back. I tried to hold back tears, after receiving help to sit down I could feel the cooling of ice on my leg, however, I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact part the pain was coming from. My dad had to come and pick me up and I could not put any weight whatsoever on my leg for literally three days. My mom took me to get an x-ray the next day, the doctor said: “Well the x-rays don't show anything let’s wait a while and if you still have any complications then we’ll schedule an MRI.” About a week and a half went by until I finally got the MRI it took about an hour and the machine kept giving off these strange loud noises it was weird. Then we had to wait for a few days to get the results, It was that Saturday at six o'clock that me and my brother and sister were at my grandma’s then my mom called asking to speak to me I picked up the phone not expecting what I was about to hear, “Cameron, the results came back and you have a completely torn ACL, you need to come home and get back on the crutches.” It felt like I just got shot, I was not expecting a torn…

    My sophomore year while playing in a football game, I tackled a player from the other team right before half-time. While I was making the tackle, I felt a pop in my knee. It wasn’t very painful because of the adrenaline in my system at the time but the next day the pain came. It felt like there was a rubber band getting caught on my knee and coming off almost every step I took. I just put this pain aside through part of basketball season until the pain was too much and I went to get a check up, then a MRI, then before i knew it I had to get surgery for a torn meniscus. This ended my basketball season. After surgery I went to my rehab physical therapist Dr. Marty in Centralia. He got my knee back in good working order after…

    Overall, sport injuries, although common, have the potential to be dangerous. The many varying affects of sport injuries can cause a wide range of injuries, each with a unique severity. Sports injuries can be prevented through the use of warmups and cooling down after exercising or participating in a sport. Nerves send messages to the brain containing information relating to where pain is located, and this helps determine where pain is not found, which helps find overworked muscles and bones. Sport injuries should not be taken lightly and should be supervised with caution, although common in today's…
