season is over for me - maybe not
« on: February 15, 2016, 08:51:03 AM »
I was on the lane when in the middle of my backswing, I thought someone threw something at the back of my left lower leg. Pop , now I can barley walk. I have never had this happen before. I just hope I don't need surgery. Doctors today and I will find out the bad news. This sucks.  :'(

A year ago in July I heard a pop in my right leg. I went to walk in clinic and my leg was swollen. Found out that it was a blood clot from above the knee on down. End up in hospital for three days. But the blood clot is in lower part and taking Pradaxa for it. Have you been tested for that?

I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

Great to hear that the injury isn't as bad as originally feared.

My one recommendation for when returning to lanes is to buy a practice round first and easy into it.

You are sure to be tentative at first; but throw the ball anyways, however your body and mind will let you.   assuming you feel no pain or discomfort eventually your mind will start to focus on your bowling and shot making instead of the injury.

Once that happens you will likely quickly get back to throwing the ball just like you were before the injury.

It might take a game, it might take several games.  don't know; which is why I suggest a practice session and not trying to do that at league.

I think the important thing is to make sure whatever is "broken" or torn is healed before you start bowling again. Do the therapy or whatever was recommended to restore the muscles or tendons or ligaments of whatever. to their former strength or better. If you rush it for whatever reason, the next damage could be more serious and more painful.

If you're young enough the healing process could go very quickly. If you're sightly older, you better consider warm-ups and stretching before any exercise, to make sure your muscles and tendons and stuff are ready for the stresses that bowling and other sports put on your body.

Just common sense stuff.

I am 51 -- but I feel very good. Never had to stretch before, but I will now. I will do the practice first, before league. I will also make sure I am healed. The waiting part sucks, but I don't have a choice. At least I am not out for 6 months or longer.

Best of luck. I know where you're coming from.
