I haven't played in 2 weeks and it will probably be another before I'm back on the course. My 1 year old accidently stepped on my balls. Ultrasound showed no significant damage but I've been advised to take it easy for a bit and I'm still in pain.

I think I would have kept that to myself.....

Hey, glad to see your playing a few holes without too much discomfort. Keep up the good work. I'm taking a break for maybe a month based on my two month follow up exam yesterday. Doc says steady im

[QUOTE name="ccotenj" url="/t/82887/who-else-is-injured-right-now-and-addicted-to-golf/54#post_1183388"]   thanks (i think)...    :) not sure yet...  going through various "elimination tests"...  sooner or later they will figure out why...   my diagnosis of "i'm old" doesn't seem to satisfy them...  :) all i can say is it sucks...   i am VERY tired of crutches... [/QUOTE] Crutches are horrible, especially when you are in college...

they are horrible at 52 too... tg for my wife... i'd be up the creek without a paddle without her... at least we know "how come" now... bone density test revealed that i have pretty severe osteoporosis... :-( which isn't good... next step is to see if the rheumotologist can help... remains to be seen, but there appear to be some treatments these days that will at least halt/slow it...

Me too - putting and short game are getting mighty sharp, though... Stay away from me in miniature golf. You'll lose your shirt.

That's definitely not good...

Yay! Over lunch I took a 50% swing and it was pain free. The wrist is still sloppy but I am much more optimistic. Hopefully I will be able to hit a few soon....

I remember I hurt my left wrist a month ago, I felt like I was going crazy. Couldn't lift weights or swing a club, two of my favorite activities. OP, I feel for you. Maybe chip and putt course one handed if you're desperate?

I have resorted to a (albeit half hearted) isometric workouts and as far af the golf goes, I had to let it go. If I didn't it would chew me up inside missing it.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I have a slight discomfort in my MCL area, and a cracked little toe. Neither are affecting what I need to do golf training-wise though.

How did it go? Smoothly I hope. Did you get the roto rooter, radioactive implants or complete removal?

Hey, glad to see your playing a few holes without too much discomfort. Keep up the good work. I'm taking a break for maybe a month based on my two month follow up exam yesterday. Doc says steady improvement and good strength but the ITB is tight and Is pulling the knee inward so rotational load may hurt the MCL. So back to the pool and stairs for addition stretching and to strengthen, and rest. Wondered why I was favoring it and coming out of my shot lately. Poor weight shift to boot. :-(

I was going to post when my MCL had a minor tear and my little toe was cracked. Both of my injuries are nothing compared to some of the other stuff posted here. . .

Get well everyone. Wish you all the best for a speedy and effective recovery. :-)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
