I'm saying we have no idea what the damage is, and that even sending Saka home wouldn't rule out some sort of fracture. Yet people have now diagnosed a bruised coccyx! I'm glad he's not so badly hurt that he's on his feet, but that's a far cry from saying nothing's broken and he's fine.
Keeping everything crossed for him.
Don't think I'll ever go to the docs again, if I ever need any advice or diagnosis I will just drop into this chat..
Does movement not assist in the bone healing process ? I was led to understand that the contact between the broken components generated new bone which then compacted and hardened around the affected site. Plaster is used to keep everything in s a straight line.Errr, yes !
Broken or fractured bones need to mend/knit. They do that by staying next to each other. It's why broken arms and legs are held together with plaster casts. Pelvis could be plastered but if it's more discreet (chipped pelvic bone or coccyx bruising), you have to grin and bear it. Movement would normally come later to ensure muscles don't seize up.
We're at cross-purposes. I'm just cautioning against the notion on here that because Saka is on his feet we can diagnose 'nothing broken' or 'bruised coccyx'. I didn't say bed rest is never beneficial, just that it isn't always appropriate, even for significant injuries.I never even saw the injury so have no idea what his problem is. I was just responding to your comment about staying in a hospital bed having any benefit. Depends on the injury. Some are fine to be plastered and the patient released. Others are by their nature unable to be dressed and the patient needs to be kept still. And hospital beds have air filled mattresses which can help with hip/back injuries.
trouble is on this chat I would go in with a mild cold and come out with a pneumonia diagnosisUndoubtedly quicker.
Bruised coccyx (your tailbone, situated at the bottom of your spine) is seriously fuckin' painful but does ease off after a while.

The only hint of a fracture has been online - hopefully it's not as bad as first feared.Any hint of a fracture there’s no way he would be out and about, I have my doubts this story of him being home so early after the incident is cosha
The context of this thread is violent conduct on the pitch causing serious harm to (our) players. In that context, whether a dirty bastard player raises thousands by crocheting for charity in their spare time is immaterial.Because on said forum, we talk about lots of things other than 90 minute blocks of football.
I was merely pointing out that comparing a footballer to Saville and Hitler was nonsense. Even if the player in question is hated when he's on the pitch.
Robbie Savage was a prick on the pitch but seems alright off it.
Did this on my wedding day. Photographer had a great idea of a photo of me and the best men jumping off a wall. I slipped and landed on my arse. Next day had a 10 hour flight to the states
Is the mortality rate so high because they are more commonly from things like car accidents which will also have a lot of other significant injuries due to the nature of the event?If it is a broken pelvis, and it's severe, the mortality rate looks frighteningly high - some articles say around 1 in 3, depending on severity.
For a young lad who gives so much joy to suffer an injury like that is almost beyond belief. The footballing side doesn't matter right now, I just hope and pray he's okay.
Gone from being almost dead to being back against Maidstone on Monday. Great to have a medical team of ITK’s as well.
Better than the other way around,trouble is on this chat I would go in with a mild cold and come out with a pneumonia diagnosis
Saka did well to flick it on, he wins a lot more in the air than you'd expect for a little lad.Robins is starting to develop a Roy Keane style of humour
He said it was the only header we won in the first half
And you had work to do that night too.Did this on my wedding day. Photographer had a great idea of a photo of me and the best men jumping off a wall. I slipped and landed on my arse. Next day had a 10 hour flight to the states
It happens all the time but probably shouldn't.I think this is a bit harsh. Sakamotos leap was almost gravity defying and in the speed of the moment I can’t see it a deliberate attempt to injure.
Bobby Thomas does the same thing and tries to roll the forward
They would and they do. Kane does this to 6ft + 13st defenders regularly. If you're pushed at that point in your leap you have no control of your landing (hence why it is outlawed in rugby).From watching the replay, if that kind of nudge happens to someone 6 foot they probably land on their feet. I don’t think it was to intentionally injure him more to stop him getting the ball. However it should still be punished as it is dangerous
The clarification about him walking slowly is strangely funny to me, as if he’s usually walking around the house doing shuttle runs and Cruyff turns
1/3 chance of surviving old chap.trouble is on this chat I would go in with a mild cold and come out with a pneumonia diagnosis
It's brilliant. Thoroughly recommended.Don't think I'll ever go to the docs again, if I ever need any advice or diagnosis I will just drop into this chat..
@Otis, don't get sad. That was the rumour going around Twitter yesterday.Broken pelvis ? 4-6 months and 1 in 3 cases are fatal.

I had a compound fracture of tabula & fibula years ago and because the bone was shattered there were gaps between the bones . No healing resulted which necessitated a bone graft operation at a later stage.
