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.

    I was a Freshman on the Salem Varsity Gymnastics team, and practice consisted of preparing the team for regionals. An unknown pain in my back wound me up in the trainer's office for an hour of the two and a half hour practice. After finishing the season strong, even though I wanted to give up countless times, pushing myself to work through the pain paid off at regionals. Even though I should have stopped because I made the pain and recovery time longer, I refused to give up on my team the week before regionals. The minute season ended, I decided to go see my doctor, he said I pulled a muscle, and the solution was rest, heat, and ice.…

    When I went back to work my first day back was a full day of work at AJ's. By the end of the night I started to get light headed again and feeling really bad. I felt like I was going to pass out. I've never felt this much pain. I needed to do something about it and I knew I couldn't drive home so I had to call my mom. When she picked me up she knew I needed to go to the hospital again. When we got to the hospital they quickly put a IV in me and said that I was lacking fluids in my body. When they started to pump fluids in my body I could feel the blood/fluids going into my veins. We were in the hospital for 3 hours.…

    The game of soccer has always come natural to me. Competing in the game of soccer is what I love to do. Being physical is something I’ve never been scared of. If I’m being completely honest, going in hard on tackles is what I’m known for. Being a physical player is a strength of mine. Being physical in the game of soccer always comes with the risk of getting hurt. Two years ago I took that risk of getting hurt, and getting hurt is exactly what happened.…

    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…

    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.…

    Soccer was going well until the day before my first scrimmage. I had a dentist appointment before I went to soccer and I was running a tad late. When I got there they were already working on defending drills and everything we normally did after stretches. Instead of doing my stretches I just jumped right in to what everyone else was doing. When it was my turn to defend I put pressure on the ball and when I went to plant my foot to change direction I heard six pops and an instant pain run up my leg. I fell to the ground and landed completely on it and all I could remember was how unbearable the pain was. I eventually became stable with my…

    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…

    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…

    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…
