Rugby League injury help

[joshie]

The other day I was playing a game for my Uni and I ran the ball into a tackle, I got hit around the legs, was struggling against him standing, but then i was hit across the top by another defender and my body went awkward. I can only explain it as if I was hit and I bent into a C shape. I finished the game, then went and warmed down playing a game of touch, but during touch I noticed a pain on my right side. It just above the middle of my body, and hurts when I turn a certain way. It is not my back, but rather the side of my body.

Does anyone know what this could be/how to treat it and will it render me unable to play this Wednesday night?

Its probably just a muscle strain based on the area you are describing but you should probably see a doctor. Ice and rest if thats the case but it could be anything.

Make yourself a nice cup of tea.

Add a teaspoon of concrete.

Or it might be cancer.

Goodnight!

I guess a strain would make sense, thanks pete.

Hooch, I bet you have never played a game in your life :lol: another typical soft merkin criticizing players.

Belt up son.

Does it hurt to breathe in at all or cough?
Yeah it sounds like you've just done a mild strain - Take it easy for the next week, ensure your warm ups and warm downs are thorough.
