minor sports injuries

recently i seem to be very injury prone, I played rugby from age 5 - 20 at club level and only had a broken nose and 1 concussion. im in my second season of football and already ive had about 3 serious dead legs that has kept me out for the following game, broke my ankle, ripped a muscle next to my quad.
1st game back last sat and i took a massive wack on the back of my head which has made my neck hurt since and ive damaged my knee so im struggling to walk again.

whats going on!!

I know i play football very hard and put my body on the line to win every ball, but i did the same in rugby and never got injured this much!! are your legs just that much more fragile than your top half?

Broken my nose 7 times this season alone playing rugby, once it's gone thats it, doesn't take much to break it again

i got 3 broken fingers and a wrist from rugby, scared nee from bike accident, busted other nee from work accident (crushed bye wood), chisled through the tenden on my middle finger and through the palm on my left hand(work again), massive concusion from slamming my head on concrete in football..... umm

and some other stuff. yes im a show off

ive had another sporting injuries, concussion from cricket (before you had to wear helmets) scars from rugby, but cuts and laserations dont stop you from playing

just remember that i also broke my finger playing rugby, but it didnt stop me from playing like these stupid football injuries are!!!

maybe playing a girls game has turned me into a girl

*runs and hides*

christ, injuries, the list is long and im certain i'm forgetting some:-

medial ligament damage to left knee - football
cartilage damage and rebuild of left knee - football
left ankle ligament tear - football
left groin - football
prolapsed disc - cricket
broken nose - dad headbutted me
broken collar bone - football

Funny you should say that.

Also used to play rugby religiously. Im quite small, but was very fast and broad. I'd hit anything and anyone with no fear. I had a lot knee issues (still have), but mainly broken fingers and toes.... I don't play anymore out of lazyness.

We now play indoor football, about 12-14 of us in a huge hall. Its hard work, constently sprinting about. I've been hit by the ball in the "man" region quite a few times, so much so once it made me sick. I've damaged my ankle and couldn't walk for over 2 weeks, still think I fractured it, but could also be a tendon type issue. Still got to be very very carefull 3 months later!! I get hurt shins (bone against bone), ripped my hand backwards (saving a shot from the "powerhouse" kicker) and couldn't write or anything for a month). I get so many "stupid" injuries from a 1 hour knock about per week, yet when I played rugby, i was fine...

But now im 26, not 10-17, and i think im realising im already getting old
