Hi Everyone. I'm just making a trek back here yet again to plug Garry Miritis and encourage all of you to go and see him. I had OP for 5 months last year and had had enough. I sucked it up and found a way to Australia from Canada to take a risk, based on what I read on this message board, to go and see him. 2 visits/$100 and I was better. I have a friend who had OP before I did, and 5 months after I am better, she is still going through slow rehab with an uncertain future. I have been training with our national soccer team almost every day, sometimes twice a day since January and haven't had one instance of reoccurence. I am so so grateful for him, because I know I would still be toiling in the misery of OP had I not taken such drastic action. Spend the best money of your life, go and see him!

As you saw him twice what did you do for accomodation? how long did you stay in melbourne for? how long were you there for? week, 2weeks?

How is the bookings does it get booked out easily?

i had friends in melbourne that i crashed with--i was better after 2 treatments, about 10 days apart--i am sure you could get in if you booked in advance. i got in the same week i booked. honestly flash, give it a try. i was telling my story to a friend tonight and how it was the best decision of my life...take the risk and go for it. you won't be disappointed.

Not sure whether what injury i have is OP or something else... but since the soccer season started (3 weeks ago) we played on a particular hard surface and my groins felt pretty bad afterwards, rather painful when stretching, didnt feel muscular so couldnt really do much about it with extra stretching. but its progressively gotten worse each week and after yesterdays game the discomfort is quite bad now, tried jogging to the car earlier and all i can feel is pain (not bad though) radiating through the lower ab area, like right inside. had similar type of problem 2 years ago but never felt as bad as it does now. not sure what my plan of action should be.

[Cannavaro]

Sounds familiar, it could be a very light strain which has gotten worse but it might also be tight adductors if you have pain in the lower abs.

I would suggest you skip a training session this week and get a good rub down instead, loosen up the entire groin area or else things will just get worse.

Would anti-inflammatory's and/or pain killers help with the pain and get me back on the park for this weekends game? Coz I tried running across the road to make the lights and it was very uncomfortable.

[Cannavaro]

I know the situation that you're in...I'm the same in that I want to play every game that I can.

If running across the road is sore then how will you be when chasing down a player or putting in a strong challenge?

I'm against pain killers etc this early in the season. But with only 3 games in it is worth missing out a game to allow the muscles to heal. At least take a session off this week, give it a few days...if it still hurts on thursday then miss the weekend.

Cheers Cannavaro, although at the moment I have no choice but to sit out... it's just a pain coz i've worked my butt off to get fit and get in the starting 11, especially with the high quality squad we have this season... don't want to lose my place, especially since i have been playing well too.
Does bike riding aggravate this injury or is it ok to ride my bike.

Fabio you seem the man for this question

I am be umpiring junior footy this week, so manly jogging at 50%

If I came back with pain I just wanted to comfirm should i ice the injury where ever i am sore?

And If i came back with minor sorness to none Should i just leave it alone take some into- inflammitries? (i just read ya post how your againist them tho )

Cheers Flash
