| Remember how about three weeks ago I said I had playoffs in Lancaster for my AYSO team? Well, in the second game of that day I did something to the back of my right leg..I think it's my hamstring, but it's up higher. I could hardly run in the third game, and sprinting hurt like hell. After that, since we lost two games and tied the last, I didn't have soccer until last Monday, when soccer tryouts (the second cut) for school started. We were warming up, just doing some running, and the coach said, "Okay, now on this one sprint there and jog back." I was halfway through the sprint when I felt this bolt of pain in my leg..and I thought, Oh crap. This is not good. I had completely forgotten that I had hurt my leg because I hadn't played for three weeks. I was worried about this because I thought it would have an effect on whether or not I would make the team, which team I would make, etc. Fortunately, I still made the JV team (hoo-ray for me), but I can't sprint at all. The most I can do without some sort of pain is walking and jogging. And our first game is next Wednesday. Basically, this is the worst timing possible. I mean, in my entire eleven years of playing soccer, I have never gotten hurt. No sprains, pulls, strains, or broken bones. It's just not fair that just as high school is starting, the year I make JV, my leg decides to go nuts. I don't know if I'll practice tomorrow, because I don't want to damage it more. I keep telling myself that it'll go away, that I can play on it, that I can sprint and run and reach and kick and everything..but I can't. It's just really frustrating, and it's making me nervous. I hate being nervous, and I hate being frustrated. Those two things together = pissed off Nancy. This also is quite annoying because one of the things I really have going for me is my speed. Not to be conceited, but I'm pretty dang fast..and this just kills it. |

porcelain | 11-20-03 8:30pm Have you gotten it checked up, or anything? My friend Sarah had the same symptoms as you.. It turned out she had this thing called, "Shin Splints". It's where the muscle tears away from the bone and everytime you put your leg down, the injured portion of it slaps like jelly against your bone and causes a stinging pain. Maybe you should go to the doctor--get it checked up on.

sparkythefool | Re:, 11-20-03 8:45pm Well, I just got informed by my mother about ten minutes after I posted that that I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow. I hope that it's nothing serious, because I want to play dang it. It's just..ahh, you know? |
