Please find below Simon’s update on our injured runners – the ones we know about!
Barry Archbold.
A long time absent, the Achilles injury is nearly better now. Barry is running a few times a week though still with a small amount of pain. He hopes to back training with the club in a couple of weeks.
Matt Taylor.
Matt’s swimming is under the guidance of Pete Stock and he reports as follows:
For me, it’s a case of two steps forward and three back. I was making some progress with some easy 5k runs but last weekend after 1 mile into a run I developed a sudden and severe pain in my knee and hobbled home. I’ve been in pain just walking since. So unfortunately no more running for the time being. Only swimming. Awaiting another MRI scan and possibly a diagnostic arthroscopy following that. More scans and waiting.
Trevor Faulkner.
The “knee is improving rapidly” which allows Trevor to speed walk and he “hopes to run a few steps soon”.
Pete Bream.
A trapped nerve in his back, he hopes to return to running in about three weeks.
Stephen Feber.
The swelling on his knee cartilage has gone down but no sign of returning to running after nearly two months.
Steve Russell.
Steve has contacted shingles so not an injury but an illness but very unpleasant none the less.
Sharon Jones.
Plantar fasciitis has been a repetitive problem for Sharon over the years and she is side-lined once again with the problem.
Simon Fenton.
The man that never get’s injured finally has. Days of over zealous stripping back in the garden have meant Wayne stopping me running hopefully for a week while my glutes get’s sorted.
It has been my intention to let everyone know what the problem is with my vision among other issues in my head once I had a diagnosis. The problem started in August last year and by February this year my right eye had deteriorated to double vision and recently no functional vision at all. This year I have had three CT scans, three MRI scans, a PET CT scan, three lumber punctures, numerous blood tests, a course of steroids (got slower and slimmer) and last month a biopsy which went through the face. At the end of all that I have been told they do not know what is causing the swelling on the nerves in my head but the excellent news is it is not a tumour. It is no reflection on Salford Royal but they appear to have exhausted the tests they can do and still without a diagnosis so I am setting up an appointment in London to get a second opinion.
