Back in Action
I played football on Tuesday evening for the first time since the injury. I was a little concerned how the ankle, and foot would hold up through the course of the game. Especially as I’m right footed, it was going to be subject to a lot of impacts throughout the night.
Thankfully there were no real problems.
After about twenty minutes of play I could feel a dull ache beginning to spread through my foot, and made the decision to avoid hitting many more shots to attempt to stop it getting any worse. That didn’t matter for too long though. After about ten minutes of passing the ball around, instead of shooting, the pain in my foot disappeared completely and I was able to play on as normal.
Wednesday morning I was expecting there to be some soreness, but thankfully there wasn’t any. My ankle felt a little weak compared to the day before, but walking on it for a short time solved that issue.
I’m going to continue to keep an eye on it, but it looks like all the damage that was caused has healed successfully.

Good to see you’re recovering well, hopefully there won’t be any nasty sursprises!

Cheers Mike.
I was a little concerned going into the game, but it all worked out fine. I’m playing again tomorrow so we’ll see if it holds up again.
