Just watching the Rugby Club mate, and saw Carlos combining nicely with Brucey (Reihana). Getting some of his magic back with the no look over the shoulder pass for Brucey to stroll over ... could be a dangerous combination to watch!

I like watching 'Los play!

I busted my knee up playing the other weekend. Medial ligament (MCL) gone. Avulsion fracture of tibia. Cruciate ligament (ACL) so badly bruised they can't actually see on the MRI scan if it's too far gone yet or not.

Doctor says he won't intervene at this stage but reserves the right to reconstruct my knee at some later date!

Still, marginally better than a broken ankle........

Hmmmmnnn.........NHS philosophy on knee ligament treatment.......

Suffered an ACL avulsion fracture two years ago: NHS advice was to allow it to reattach itself, and if that doesnt work then operate at some later date.....

Whilst I can walk & run, my knee will ache most days - ironically when stationary or with my elbows resting on my legs/knees. It also does not feel sufficiently 'robust'. Having now seen a french specialist, he could not understand why the NHS had not operated to start with as it is a simple procedure: It would have prevented my ACL from allowing my knee 4-5mm too much laxity (not having reattached itself exactly in its original position, despite religiously not bending my knee during the initial recovery period & then following the physio regime).

Personally, I believe that the NHS approach is dictated by financial considerations rather than best care principals: I would strongly recommend getting a private second medical opinion if you are not already covered by private med insurance (wish I had, but was naively trusting of the NHS system - not having a dig at the NHS, but with retrospect I can see that their priorities lie with allocating their resources where needs must).

Good luck - not a pleasant injury!

Well ... She let me out of the boot this morning!!!

And I can start physio and getting the full range of movement back.

She rather optimistally suggested I could be back playing rugby in 6 weeks!!!!!!! I wouldn't be fit enough anyway, but I could maybe play a half on the wing and maybe drift in a bit a few times ... hrmmm ... the way our home ground is I'd want to play the half when we were running downhill though

No running until the full range of movement is back though ...
