I tore my calf muscle earlier this year playing walking football believe it or not. Luckily through family connections I was able to see the club doctors at Mill House Wood Lane for treatment and they were excellent. It was a big tear too and I was in agony. But they sorted me, told me what to do etc and after six weeks I was up playing walking football again at my age. I was on two crutches for four weeks and couldn't get out of the house.

I have just completed 8 weeks in a full length leg brace, locked straight, had to wear 24/7 a week. Still on crutches now, I was allowed to remove the leg brace yesterday.

Did it impair your ability to make love?

I ruptured my Achilles’ tendon about 5 years ago playing walking football. My own fault, I was late getting there and didn’t have time for a proper warm up (it was November and cold, even though it was indoor). I’d literally been on the pitch a couple of minutes, someone played the ball to me, I pushed it out in front of me and went to push off on my right leg and bang. As I was going down, I was looking behind me to see who had kicked me. It was only as I got up that I realised what I’d done. No surprise really, as my Dad had done the same 30 years earlier playing 5 aside.
I had to wear a boot for about 4 months, couldn’t drive etc. the wife wasn’t impressed as we’d just downsized to an old cottage that needed doing up and I couldn’t do much at all.
It healed up ok but never been quite the same since.

Sounds horrendous and good luck with your recovery. The advice I was given, and followed, by the club doctors involved no prescription drugs, ointments etc. Just a programme of exercises, rest, and some heel wedges for the injured leg which were a tremendous help.
They said my tear was one of the worse they had seen and I seriously thought I wouldn't be playing football again, especially so considering my age, but I am.
Point being the club doctors knew their stuff. I suppose they deal with injuries like mine every day.

Exactly what happened to me. I heard a bang and thought someone had either thrown something at the back of my leg or whacked me with a pick axe handle and I was literally just moving to receive a pass without another player within yards of me. My recovery was miraculous compared to yours, again shows what good advice I was given to aid my recovery.

Yes, it’s been a tough 8 weeks. Thankfully lots of sport on TV has helped pass the time. I’m just focussed on regaining movement back now.

That was the big take away for me last time I needed a physio for a sporting injury - the importance of the right exercises (rehab exercises) to a successful and sustained recovery .
