James Kelly split testicle

[krisholio14]

Squirrel grip?

No, he got a ball in the ball.

Counting my blessings. I've fallen the way Kelly did on a sports field many a time.

Never knew the plums were in danger apart from a bit of pain.

 

[Ashton Agar]

I guess this displaces Dermott Brereton's snapped penis in 1992 to the second most bizarre injury in AFL folklore.

Tom Lonergan? Wasn't the plums but didn't he have like 20% chance of living?

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Won't be an injury appearing on the RFC injury list.........

 

[Ancient Tiger]

If I can recall correctly, this happened to Kelvin Moore, the Hawthorn full back too. He played on for many games after it.

 

[kingswood71]

At least it proves that at least one Geelong player has balls
In all seriousness though, I hope he has a speedy recovery and wish him well. I wouldnt wish that injury on my worst enemy (if I had one).

Incorrect. It is catalytic shock i believe it is called, and it can happen from anything that causes saver pain. Older people who have bad knees for example can die from catalytic shock while bumbing a knee or bad hip for example. It is cause when the pain response by the brain, (which rupturing a testicle is extremely painful) will pump high doses of chemicals into the body, to react against the pain... however this can cuase the body to go into shock if it is too much and a heart attack may result, or complete system shut down. SO your brain and body response to the pain actually kills you by over doing the chemical response.

You're as bad as that other guy.

 

[Doss]

Enough to make any man wince.

All the best, James.

Any idea how long he'll be out? I have him in my Fantasy Elite team and unless he's out for over 5 weeks I'm not dropping him to the waiver wire.

lingy mentioned last night Kelly had surgery.Earlier I'd read that if he needed surgery it could be 2 months out.

Update ok Kelly:

Geelong midfielder James Kelly last night underwent surgery on a ruptured testicle at the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne.

Kelly suffered the injury during the third quarter of the clash with Richmond at the MCG yesterday when hitting the ground after taking a mark.

Geelong Cats general manager of football, Steve Hocking, said the surgery was successful and Kelly will released from hospital soon....

update continued and footage of the incident can be found at: http://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/2015-05-03/kelly-recovering-from-surgery
The actually incident looks pretty innocuous and while he appeared to be in some pain at the time, it looked more like he was winded from the way he landed rather than the seriousness of what we now know to be the injury.

Having only one functioning testicle doesn't effect fertility I believe.

He might have three now.

Reminds me of a story of a player in country footy. His thigh bone kept would dislocate really easily but his teammates knew that if it did to just get it back in and he'd be fine. Gets tackled, goes down in pain. They figure it's popped out again so try to get it back in. Bloke just screams in pain. They figure it just really be out so really try to push it back in. Bloke eventually passes out so they get him taken to hospital.

Turns out one of his balls was in the socket where they were trying to get it back into. He's now down to one.

Surprisingly serious injury. Painful as all hell and you can go into nervous system shock and die from it. In worse case scenarios you can stuggle to walk for months and even with removal can have ghost pain for the rest of your life. Unbelievable how much male bodies treasure those ugly hanging globes between our legs.

Couldnt find anything in relation to sports recovery but it is considered extremely dangerous. Good luck James.

I'm thinking you're mixed up here. I'd hazard a guess and say that going into nervous shock and possibly dying would be the worse case scenario and not struggling to walk for months.

I thought it was a South American soccer player? Dislocated his hip, the club medicos put it back in the socket but in doing so, jammed one of his nuts in the joint. He was in agony and once they got him to hospital, they had to re-dislocate it.

iirc, it was in the 'worst sporting injuries' in Inside Sport about 15 or 20 years ago.

Heard it on the radio years ago so it's possible the bloke telling it pinched it.

Either way, ow.

That dog campaigner milburn did it to SOS

I thought Milburn got him in the head.

If in fact that is the case and Dasher did get him in the head and did split one of SOS's testicles, then it must mean that SOS was really a dickhead.

Does that sound about right?

Lord Horatio Nelson. One eye, one arm, one nut. That's why the Pommies refer to 111 in cricket as a Nelson.

 

[Power Raid]

I would rather do a knee

 

[Back One Out]

Lucky he wasn't penalised for diving on the ball.

 

[dazbroncos]

On the lighter side, Kel is known for being a bit of prankster at the club having a pretty good record.

Once he is healthy and back to regular life, which we are all looking forward to, yo know that he is gonna cop plenty with a nickname, as his is, of Pops…

shit you not.

GO Catters

Richard Douglas wore a box for 6 weeks or so after a testicle injury last year. Not sure if it was as bad as Kelly's though. Good luck to him for his recovery

I've had my balls badly split open. This mucus shit was dripping everywhere and I was cumming blood for weeks after. My balls didn't fall out though they're attached to these veiny things but they were hanging out for a bit.

Many years ago I got dropped behind play with a knee to my kiwis. Dropped me like a sack of shit. Had to be carried off. Was given an icepack on the sidelines and shoved it down my shorts. When I pulled it out a few minutes later, was covered in blood. Went into shock.

To cut a long story short, split my ole fella. Nuts are for pussies I say. Ended up in hospital with the doc wanting to sew me up. Told him to gtfo and ended up using butterfly tape on me. Was out of action for many weeks and from that day on, always wore a box.

On a sidenote, when out drinking with the boys, they would always recount the story I got 50 stitches on my ole fella to randoms (girls) and never failed to raise the interest of at least one.
