retinal detachment and boxing

[mmrooms]

Hello guys,

I've been having some problem to my retina lately, it is genetically sharper than usual and it used to have a small hole that had to be closed with laser photocoagulation.

My doctor advised me not to practice boxe anymore, but it is too much ****ing difficult, since i trained twice a day for the last 3 years, it's in my blood now.


I can't tell you how ****ing sad I am at the moment... What do you guys think? Should I stop forever? Anyone with similar experience?

Which is the best headgear, the most protective one?

and last but not least: why god had to be so evil to me?

Thank you very much guys.

Very dangerous injury, career ending for most. Technology has advanced and soem fighters have come back from that injury though. I would get a second and third opinion if I was you just to make sure.

If doctors tell you not to spar or train anymore, don't do it because nothing is worth losing your vision over.....nothing.

Well keep boxing if you don't mind the risk of losing an eye...

or do the smart thing and listen to your doctor...

or call Sugar Ray Leonard and get his opinion...

Prince Naseem Hamed: if it's written, it's written.

I would like to hear more from people who have had to quit boxing because of bad vision, bad health etc.

but what if I would use an headgear with full protection, like the ones with a mask?


I'm so sad right now, I loved SOOOOO much boxing...

yes

Anyone with similar experience?

i used to ball like kobe until I ****ed up my knee

Which is the best headgear, the most protective one?

dunno, but I'd rather keep my eye

and last but not least: why god had to be so evil to me?

technically, God did not do this to you. It's a genetic condition.

Thank you very much guys.

It's a very dangerous situation for you. Sit with a Coach and speak with him. Perhaps there are some precautions that you can take for preventing those injuries. A coach is the best solution to finding out what you should do for boxing injuries.

Dude, you need surgery PRONTO. After surgery and reevaluation, then you may talk anout boxing once again, no way around surgery.
