My bf has a genetically fused spine and can't play football anymore?

Question

i know its kinda cheesy. but my boyfriends passion is football, its been his life since elementary. he just found out that he has a genetically fused bone in his spine that is causing him never to play again. I guess im asking really what it is cause i don't understand it. and im not to sure what to tell him. any help would be great thanks

Answer 1

see if he is interested in going into coaching or scouting for football... that way he still gets to be around the game

Answer 2

i know what its like, i had compartment syndrome and its a very complicated type of condition, i play baseball and had a very very bright future in the sport, but this has caused complications and my future with baseball is kinda in doubt.  so i know what he is going through, but his is even worse, but mine might be as well, so i would just be very positive around him and tell him playing football wasnt in Gods plan for him, but that doesnt mean he cant be around the game, he is a strong kid for dealing with this, its a long road, and the same for me.  tell him to have faith and God will lead him in the right direction, be caring and make him feel good about himself, there are far wose things to have and i know thats hard to understand but its the truth.
