[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 88565"] So I recently dislocated my shoulder. Painful you may think, but not the end of the world. This is the third time I've done it and now face an operation before xmas in order to stabalise the joint. On top of this my entire rugby career (and I use career in the loosest possible sense of the word) hangs in the balance. It is debatable whether I will be able to play again because of the severity of the injury, and even if I were to try getting back into the game it could prove a massive struggle, both physically and mentally. I know there are a few guys on the forum with bad injury experience, I'm after advice on how you can recover both the fitness and confidence to start playing again after such a major setback. At 18 I really don't want to consider the prospect of retirement (especially as, much to my amazement, I had been pushing a Uni 2nd XV and possible Berkshire U20 County spot). Any advice, words of wisdom etc appreciated... [/QUOTE]
