Soccer injury to be diagnosed or??!
Question: Hi,
Ok so yesterday I played my first soccer match. The girls I was playing against is reaaly aggressive. I played defense and my opponent had the ball. I tried to get it from her but she purposely bumped me hard that both of us fell to the ground. She fel before me and as I fell she kick the side of my knee with her cleats. The ref didn't call it so I got up and continued but it was hurting and still today the bone is hurting in the front and muscle in the back. Should I diagnose it??

as a former soccer player, i would tell you to get it checked out. ACL and meniscus problems are VERY common in soccer players. youshould get it looked at as a precaution. if you let it go, you could be doing more damage to yourself. also, since it was your first match, i would suggest trying to be more aggressive. girls always play REALLY dirty and you can never count on the ref, so you have to learn how to be a sneaky player and fight back. ; ) Good luck
Um...just rest the leg, and try not to walk much, if it looks swollen then try putting ice on it, and if it doesn't get a little better within 2 days then go and see the doctors....
When you play soccer there is a good chance that you'll end up getting kicked in the legs and have pain for days, the more you play and the more you get kicked, the stronger your legs will get because they will get used to the pain and all of that
I play soccer as well and when i first started i would always get kicked in the shin, months and months after repeatedly being kicked in the shins, my shins became hard and now when i get kicked it doesn't hurt az much
that might happen with you if you keep playing, you'll end up with shins of steel lol
i would have to say you probably have a contusion which is a bruise around the bone. i have had a couple and they are common in soccer. it would be best to get it checked out though, just to make sure it isnt fractured. just keep the foot iced.
