competitive squash can be played very frenetically , and like high level football, stresses the body, any underlying issues then raise their head. Hence relatively young people dying because they are putting too much strain on their bodies.Possibly they might have lived much longer lives had they not pushed themselves so far.I wish i could still play but with knackered joint in my right knee its impossible.Trouble is some people do push themselves when they shouldnt.
VNA - a big word of caution about yer ankle tendon. I have had a recurring tendonitis now for 18months...done everything from sports massages to pills and orthotics , nothing has fixed it. My advice is dont mess about , take all the physios advice, as tendon problems can be very troublesome. I had a scan yesterday which showed bone degeneration on my heel, so its gonna take more treatment to fix it ( if they can?). I got this problem from quite innocuous reasons ( lack of arch support)...imagine a torn ligament / tendon would be much worse to heal...
