Can't help with your injury but at the end of May I ruptured my quad tendon. Needed surgery, spent 12 weeks in a brace and will take approx 12 months before fully recovered.
I've played 5 aside twice a week for 20 years. But my career is now over.
I scored twice on the night of my injury so I have that memory to take with me and in my time I played on the pitch at Ninian Park, played in a charity game with Andy Legg, Jeff Eckhardt and others as well as hundreds of weeks thinking I could still be a contender.
I hope you get better soon Tim and when you do play again enjoy it.
