Should I play Football this year?

Question

Hello,

I slipped four discs last football season,one partially ruptured, and i thought that they should have been healed by now. I am only 17 so I thought that they should have been alright. I feel a lot of discomfort When i am at football practice.It is slowly starting to hurt again. I'm afraid I'm going to do permanent damage to my back. Should i play this year? I had no surgery only a ESI shot in my back.

AD)

I slipped them in my lower back

I am (obviously) male

I am a senior this year

I played the last 3 games with my back and right leg hurting very badly, I just don't want to s***w up my back really young.

Answer 1

No way! Maybe if I had 10 less injuries

Answer 2

play and just tell your coach when you start feeling bad

Answer 3

ask a doctor.

Answer 4

man just take it easy! u already messed up alot u shouldnt play gettin that much discomfort!! just stay it out this year.

Answer 5

if you really love it go for it...but as long as you know what your risking...maybe you should wait a few monthes before playing...think about it...is playing a sport really worth being paralyzed forever?

Answer 6

It's up to you man, if your not the best and you don't think that you'll get a scholarship out of this, then if I were you I'd quit, I know football is fun but messing up your back when you have the rest of your life just isn't cool. Also you might want to go back and get your doctor's opinion or talk to your parents

Answer 7

No i don't think you should because as you said yourself you don't want to s***w up your back so i think you shouldn't play football for a while until it gets better .. you don't want to keep playing if your in pain!

Answer 8

Please do me a favor and don't! This COULD damage your back PERMANTLY!

Answer 9

I would try to play and see how intense the pain gets and if you're in a lot of pain take breaks during the season. Play whenever you feel up to it. You can be injured and not play some games and play others.

I went through this last year playing on a bad knee and the doctors told me that it was a good idea not to play when it was bothering me.

Answer 10

I wouldn't if I were you!

Answer 11

yeah! girls love guys who are rough!

Answer 12

yeah!!!

Answer 15

i wouldnt just train when you feel good enough to train to keep up your fitness....but a year out now would be better than having to quit football 5 or 6 years early due to injury!

just make the sacrifice for now!

talk with the trainer and your doctor

Yes always play

Answer 18

if you love the game and wont to be on the team then go for it

Answer 21
