Fears...

[Rix]

i hate fractures...

[Longest]

I think a knee injury gives me most cause for worry.

Dan

[laxbabe2121]

i've actaully never been injured..... never sprained/fractured/tore anything. i don't even get shin splits! but i'm really scared of tearing my ACL, beucas that's what 2 of my friends did during the season... and its a painful process

[bruamable]

me? its neck injuries....i shouldnt hit with my head but i play football and it is a habit however it is effective

[Rix]

whats an ACL laxbabe ?

[Rix]

and bruamable, watch out how who hit a guy...neck injuries can be real dangerous !! hehe

[laxbabe2121]

ACL, its something in your knee. my friend ksenia tore it during a game, and she had to get a bunch of MRI's, and they cut her knee open, and put these stiches in, and she's been wearing a brace for about a year.... it kills your season basically.

[Longest]

It can kill more than that too, couple seasons sometimes. Some people are never the same after an ACL injury, depending on the severity.

Dan

[Rix]

yeah you stay away from the game for a while after knee injurie of any kind

[bruamable]

my friends a junior for our high school lacrosse team....he tore his acl`s and is no longer allowed to play ANY sports

[saintslax4]

ive tore my left acl 2 times and my right 3. But im still truckin along.

[Rix]

maybe not for long lol

[bigOHlax]

you proabably partialy tore them cause i think after 3 times of tearing your acl you would be done.
i recently tore the mcl a ligament of much less importantce but still have to miss a lot of time, basically killed my summer.
it is even worse when you go back and they look at your mri and say you might have torn some cartalidge and maybe even partialy the acl. I hate knees

not always...some people are done after 2 times...some 4 times...but usually yes after 2-3 times you cannot play anymore...some cannot walk anymore. it,s pretty hard to predict

[johnnyicesae]

Funny thing about an ACL if your legs are strong enough you really don;t need it. I know quite a few football players(skill position players too) who tore their ACL and it hardly effects their play or their life. They just wear one of those neoprine sleeves. No other forms of stablization needed. No metal or plastic hinges and bars nothing.

[bigOHlax]

that is intersting i never knew that
the way people talk about how important it is they make is seam like the whole world matters on how you acl is

[johnnyicesae]

well to probably 80-90% percent of the population that is what holds your knee together and that is what gives you knee any form of stability. It's those select few athletes with the muscles built up around the knee that can withstand this

[bigOHlax]

wish i was one of those athletes that could do that


for me 2 weeks on crutches and my one quadricept turned into jello

[wildcatdefense]

being a defenseman,and in mens lax,you know you need a lot of gear.But my worst fear is a crazy outside shot going straight for...well I think you know where this is going.anyway defensemen don`t wear as much as golies,but shots still come blazin` through some times,and if it is a bad shot,the defender who take the shot there,has a lot of courage.:cry

[WarriorLax22]

well, i'm afraid of getting a shot ripped right at my heart. 'cause you can die like those goalies did. i probably won't 'cause i play attack and stuff, so i really don't have to worry that much. :) (all these smilies and no simple happy face...)

[laxee]

Yeah well you won't die if they have a defibrillator.

I hope they have one where i am going.:concerned

Know CPR guys for sure.

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

i injured my back lst year running cross country. it destroyed my entire running season, and pretty much destroyed my lax season. i would be playing at times when it hurt so bad i couldnt walk so i had to keep jogging. and, my coach had to pull me from a few games. i finally got smart and took some time off (this whole time, i had been going to physical therapy) and went to the chiropractor. it's finally fixed but now, i stretch more than anyone i know. im just really scared that it will come back again and will destroy my season again.

[mwn8989]

im most worried about a bruised ego:jk , but seriously, any knee injury is my worst nightmare, ive seen my dad go under the knife twice for his left one, i hope knees dont run in the family...:cry

[MrTibs]

a shot to my balls. *shudders*

[Rix]

oh ya....thats scary

[EX Lineman]

i blew my knee out playing. I honestly have absolutely no idea what i did to it, never went to a doctor for it. i messed it up in freshman year kept playing on it then this year...my sophmore year i totalled it. I can actually do pretty well with it although i feel it bigtime after any kind of game. street or league.

[stegmakk]

Messing up either one of my knees...again...they have already been so abused it aint funny...I almost did this winter...came limpin in the house from a box game and my wife asked what was wrong...told her i fudged up my bad knee...she asked which one...HA!

[laxcrazy]

A......C.......H...........E......L.......I....... ..E.....S........
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
and knee injuries....well all injuries, they all hurt, well most of them, the most brutal, in the "groin" without a cup!!!
NIGHTMARE, can't......wake........up!!AHHHHH

[smitt5168]

my left side is cursed. broken elbow where my elbow bent backwards. torn rotator cuff and broken shoulder blade. knee is a pain in the ***. ruptured tricep. broken ribs for my time as a stand in goalie. now to my head. multiple concussions from football.:banghead
head trauma neck damage to the stuff in there. and anyone who has ever played basketball, the fingers OUCH
the funny thing is, half of the stuff is not sports related. i've always wanted to be oon jackass.....

[laxcrazy]

lol, yea, a am prone to injuries in the fingers and good thing i have a helmet!

[sumSum]

I fear ankle injuries the most. Especially my right ankle.

[LaXDaVe]

Knee injuries, definately, but I try not to worry about that stuff.

[bigDman]

back/Neck injuries

[laxitup12]

Im scared of any injury that'll prevent me from playing lacrosse ever again...if i can play next season hey, its cool, but never playing again...i know a kid that broke his neck playing box lax and he can't play again...he!! its a miravle that he can walk..

[smitt5168]

all rite i gut an injury question. so me kid speared my shoulder, its bruised and swollen up on the shoulder ball part thingy. i hav limited movement. i can myarm up to about a 45 degree angle, so my question is, wat the hell is rong wit it

[CDLax2]

My fear is definetly a knee injury. My knee is already messed up a little bit and it hurts like hell if it even gets tapped *this has been goin on for a year*. If it got messed up it would hurt so bad.

[smitt5168]

i did see a doctor, the moron couldn't make heads or tails of it. so, i went to the emergencey room, it turns out i seperated it and some pectoral thingy is partially torn

[BuckWyld]

your pectoral muscle is your chest

dude that sucks, - doctors these days.

[CDLax2]

the pex muscle is in your chest correct. but there are ligaments and tendons connecting that muscle to the infraspinatus muscle ( A muscle that assists the lifting of the arm while turning the arm outward) basicly the shoulder muscle that allows rotataion.

[smitt5168]

no it aint in ur chest. its kinda hard to explain where it is,wen u make ur arm out to a 90 degree angle its like near ur armpit kinda

[CDLax2]

im telling you it is in ur chest. it goes from the center of ur chest to the shoulder. look it up if you dont believe me

[smitt5168]

i know it starts in ur chest, but it connects to ur shoulder, wen u put ur arm out, the part say say i tore it at was at like ur armpit the frunt part

[nc lax]

deff knee problems, i have minor problems that are now fixed

[LaXDaVe]

My knee cap actually pops out and rotates inside my leg, and I have to pop it back into place. It hurts like hell, and for like the next two days, but it doesnt happen often, only when I do certain things.. =/

[CDLax2]

old topic

[pissedofflaxdud]

I used to fear the ankle or knee injuries, mostly because I had my right ankle reconstructed and both of my knees scoped. But after having the surgeries they are better than when I was a kid (I'm 33 now).

Now I fear shoulder and head injuries.

I recently injured my left shoulder and it is amazing how much you actually depend on your shoulder for movement and strength. I am hoping after surgery on this one it ends up like my other injuries.

As for head injuries...concussions really aren't cool at any age, but it's a real challenge to go to work with that kind of head-ache!

[LongHornMiddie]

knee injuries for sure worry me the most cause they are so vulnerable and take so long to rehab...plus blowing it out my sophmore year dosen't help much

[Chris41]

ive dislocatd my knee and i have to wear a brace now, how long did everyone else have to wear a brace for the kind with the horseshoe stabalizer thing inside?

[nVlax]

any injury that you cant recover from

[smitt5168]

like stupidity?

ive met many stupid laxers, none play now

[lacrosse64]

I fear get hit in the chest wit a ball. I heard peeeps die from it. W/e lax is still the best sport.

[joeyp2003]

yeh i played 8 years of football and never had any injuries 4 yrs of lax...last game of senior year like 10 seconds left im going go the goal get checked from behind(clip) with a stick check to my feet i bent my ankle in the way that makes u cringe...yeh tore the ligament...that sucked bc i couldnt play summer league and my ankle is still the size of a softball it happened in may

[DrDetroit]

i havent had any injuries, but i had a scary moment last winter in indoor when i had two guys checked intop and they both fell on my knees and bent them inward. yeah i couldnt walk at first and it hurt like a ***** so i thought i had ****ed both my knees, but turrns out it was nothin.

[GotLax?]

FIrst of all anything from the waist down and second really badly pinching a nerve (If any of you have ever had a piched nerve you will know what I'm talking about)

[blakelax25]

na the worst by far is a achillies tendon injury. like if it got sliced or messed up. if nay of you have seen pet semetary the little kid cuts the back of the dudes ankle, and i couldnt watch it, and everytime i picture it i get chills.

[laxerattacker]

i hate REALLY bad jammed fingers, i have one now and it is so hard to even put my THUMB(most important finger) around my shaft and i cant do nuttin!

[Jugthug42]

The Pectoralis Major is the large muscle that on your breast. There are two. Are you sure its not your lats? If you have really large lats they extend and make your chest look broader when you lift your arms up. It seems like it would make more sense if your lats were torn a tiny bit.

But anyways, back on topic, I always feared of getting my achilles tendon hurt really badly, it just seems like it would be the most painful thing, and you wouldnt be able to walk. Also, I am scared of damaging my family jewels. Hernias also blow.

[seanr9ne]

well other than like paralization or anything really serious.....

fracture femur or torn ACL.....

femur is just the most painful thing....and ACL is the most detrimental

[a_nik_02]

I am scared about the knees. My fathet injured his 20+ years ago and he just had surgery again (fourth time)on the same bad knee. He had to replace the cartilidge under his kneecap and I remember him in pain for a month and a half.

I have broken 6 bones left wrist 2 times right wrist left ankle. left elbox and my strernum( bone in center of chest) They all hurt alot buy right now I am sitting here with a broken wrist and I think it hurts the most out of all of them because I broke both bones in the wrist!

[brlacrosse50]

that acl sounds pretty scary.... also im afraind of arm brakes cuz ur cant play with outur arm!

[capsattack]

Now that i fractured my arm.. the risk is now greater so i fear that the most right now

[capsattack]

same with me i broke both bones in my wrist this mid season =( sucks so bad!

[stxlcr18]

KNEES!!!!!!! i have bad knees and have 2 ice them after almost every game so i try and protect them the most.

[LameR]

Breaking my collarbone again, it'd probly require surgery and some screws + a metal plate the next time.

[Orangeman80]

i've broken an arm which was the only major bone. that sucked! otherwise its just small stuff. I've broken 3 fingers a hand and a couple toes. fingers affect your shot a ton but u can still play so their not so bad.

[0208880m]

i'm with you on that lamer. at risk of puncturing my right lung if i break it again. probably have to put a plate in too

[oregon D]

I hate back injuries the most, they mess me up good.

But i also hate messing up my ankles, 1 ankle injury put me on the bench for bball for a looonng time.

Ive never broken a bone in my body.

[midfielder51]

Im definetely most afraid or knee injuries. just last season after the first 2 weeks or so of practice i got a stress fracture and i pulled my MCL!! I was out for about 7 weeks and most of my season went down the drain.

now i really watch out for stuff like that and i train hard to prevent them...i get the feeling that the injuries were a result not being in to good of shape.

[Primo832]

i heard that your acl is like a ligiment under your calf and when you tear it clean it snapps like a rubberband

........ow........

[GCHSLax04]

I saw a guy at a game tear his and it rolled up in the back of his leg so there was this funky looking bump on his calf area, was nasty.
ANyways, I fearhand breaks, I broke something inside my hand and my small finger healed odd so my right handled cradling is quite unusual looking, I fear breaking a more useful finger though, That and maybe my upper thigh-bone, can't imagine walking to well if that thing comes popping out of my leg.

[xSURFERx]

i never had ne real bad injuries either until i was moved up to varsity. i pulled a hami, strained my lower back, and both knees started giving mr trouble. out of all of these i fear knee the most.

[lacrossetitute]

my worst injury ever was tearing a muscle in the right side of my lower back. The sad thing was i wasn't even playing a sport when i tore it. I had a really bad cold and was in bed at a funny angle and coughed really hard. tore it. I couldn't walk for a while without going through excruciating pain. Surprised i could even go to school. Hurt to walk for about a month, then about two weeks after it healed i hurt it again playing volleyball in gym class. damn that sucked.

My most recent injury was doing something to my achilles. It started off as a sprained ancle, but eventualy by playing it i managed to screw up my achilles. It was weird, i could walk on it fine, but i couldn't run. I saw the doctor and he thought it was something on my inner foot, where there are no ligaments or anything that i could possibly injure :wtf He told me to take 4 advil before every practice and game and play on it. Still hurt with all that advil, but i still played. I decided not to do any sports over the summer and now its all better.

I probably fear the most either redoing my achilles, or blowing out my knee, or taking a really bad shot to the sternum.

[lacrosse64]

I dislocated my shoulder and it got fractured on the fall. OO that hurt a lot and i was out for the end part of or season. BUT the most i fear is getting hit in the nuts by a 80 mph shot, Shatters the cup and all. DAM man that freaks me out

[thedrizzil]

im just in highschool and i already have to bad knees that i need to go to physical theropy for so im really scared of knee injeries...and not beign able to spell good

[LAXatt]

for me definately knee injuries especially the ACL

[DuLAX]

breaking my left foot..for the third time and fracturing my cheek bone and breaking my jaw again...yeah, it sucks having your jaw wired shut and having to have everything blended up so it can fit through a straw
