Absolutely gutted and quite annoyed with myself.
Last weekend had a county cup game. It kicked off late due to ET being played on the pitch beforehand and for whatever reason I didn't warm up properly. About 10 mins from the end I felt a bit of a tweek in my thigh but carried on and finished the match. Got home and it was sore but could move about etc. didn't bother with any RICE or suchlike. Felt better but not 100% by Saturday. Went out and ran the line but once home I knew I'd knackered it quite badly. Despite all that I iced it and took a few painkillers then went out and (somehow) got through a league cup game yesterday morning. I can barely walk today and it's paint full as heck.
I'm gutted because I've had to cancel my games for this coming weekend (first time I've had to do that) and mega annoyed because I feel I've let down the teams I reffed yesterday (they were both fine as it happens but doesn't make it right) and also not sure how long I'll now be unable to referee. Hopefully with the Christmas break coming up it'll get a decent rest and get it 100% right for the new year.
Sorry for the rant but I needed that out. Has anyone got any tips for muscle injuries and getting healed or is it just a case or rest, rest and more rest?
