Broken bones are really straight forward, I mean they dont need corrective surgery and manipulation or anything. I can see how that's straight forward.

I damaged my ankle ligaments quite badly.

Doc said in A&E that for the next two weeks I'd be pleased it was ligaments and not broken, but for the next two years after that I'd wish it had been broken.

As you all know the human body possesses amazing healing powers that enable it to bounce back from a vast array of illnesses and injuries and broken bones are indeed pretty simple in that a Pot/Cast of the injuried area and plenty of rest will do the job.

Some people would be shocked at the resiliency and strength that are bones can withstand.

Sorry to hear that mate, but I really hope that the injury to Heath doesn't have any underlying repercussions as we near the busisness end of the season when he has recuperated from his injury.

I wish the breaks through my tib and fib healed quite straight forward.

They should get a third opinion. THey might find this time it's just a bruise and he can actually play this week


In all seriousness, those who slag off the club for not giving accurate information on player injuries will surely be eating a little humble pie around now? A lot of clubs would have kept this news to themselves, then surprised opposition by bringing the player back earlier than anticipated, so that they hadn't prepared properly for him. Naming no names of clubs there of course. Our club has give the fans a bit of good (or at least less bad) news instead.

I'll leave this to people far more qualified than me because I've suffered broken bones that healed quickly but I once broke a small bone in my wrist - that didn't even hurt really and only went to casualty because I was told to - and had a cast on for 16 weeks because the blood supply wasn't very good.

On the other hand I've heard that ligament damage is often worse than a fracture but I really don't know. If the club are releasing press statements saying it's less bad news then I'll drink to that!

With L'Estrange injured let's hope that if Diskin will play the full 80 that he doesn't get injured!

Few years ago now, Mick. All fine now.

Whilst Heath is definitely in our best seventeen players (probably best seven, let alone seventeen) a team with an 80 minute hooker does get a lot more options on the bench.

Confirmed that he never had a fracture to his ankle, but still got his in a boot for the next 2 week, then light training will start.

Could be at least a month till we see him back

Lol really?
