Thanks Guys....Dr Bissy's Treatment Plan.... In the initial stage of all three levels of injury medication prescribed by a doctor for pain relief should be taken if necessary. The PRICE protocol should be followed - Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (never apply ice directly to the skin). The knee should be rested in an elevated position and cohesive bandage (which sticks to itself) should be used as a compression bandage to help prevent excessive swelling.
Ice packs applied for twenty minutes, every two hours, can aid pain relief and help to prevent more tissue damage by cooling the tissues. The Aircast Knee Cryo/Cuff is the most effective method of providing ice therapy and can be used for the home treatment of knee injuries and knee pain. It can provide continuous ice cold water and compression for 6 hours – and significantly reducing knee pain and knee swelling.
In the case of a first degree sprain, sporting activities should not be undertaken for about 3 weeks.
For second degree sprains, the rehabilitation period will be between 6 and 8 weeks. Rehabilitation under the supervision of a chartered physiotherapist is desirable to prevent a recurrence of the injury, which can be common if a return to sport is attempted too early......
In the case of a third degree sprain, where the ligament is completely ruptured, the treatment of choice is surgery to repair the structure. The type of reconstruction used will depend on the exact site of the damage and the preference of the surgeon. Many people find that using a knee brace can be very helpful if they have suffered a Medial Collateral Ligament injury. The brace supports the knee and takes the strain off the ligament during the early stage of injury, particularly when sleeping. The knee brace also provides protection during the later stages of rehabilitation. Running in a swimming pool, using a buoyancy aid, is an ideal method of maintaining fitness while the ligament is healing.....

Dear Dr. Otto, where were you when I was playing through injury after injury because of my love for the game of football. If I had been told what you have just posted I would not be suffering from ankle, knee and hip stiffness. I have had to resort to taking Glucosomine Sulphate and Bromelain to remedy the situation. I hate taking painkillers. Has to be a last resort.

You must listen to Otto otherwise you will end up like a lot of old men rueing the aches and pains of later life just for a few hours of pleasure (sport) I know ..... I'm one of them

I've done some light cycling mind you. Eliptical motion so it's easy on the joints. Will probably swim to make sure i don't lose fitness.

Played a few weeks back but forgot about this thread. Mind you i'm a bit weeed off our coach can't seem to find any fixtures.
Played at Outside Centre for the first time ever. We got beat 5-0 in a low scoring encounter. Our loosehead prop managed to knock himself out, the fullback went off with a sprained ankle and due to having no subs we finished the match with only 13 players. Valiant effort to keep it down to one try i think.
