I have been suffering no doubt and been taking Sulfasalazine for 6 months which caused me to stop playing for a while.

After a new diagnosis it been suggested i take a injection very periodically of Cosentyx which is pritty muxch every week.

I know it a long shot but does anybody on this forum suffer with any of the above or have any knowledge of Cosentyx.

I bascially want to play i have had 4 nets and bought a few bats however i visit the rhumalogist on the 28 and i want to be armed with question.

My main worry is my long term future and the effects as it will no doubt effect my job which i have 3 years to complete my 22 year contract.

Thank you for the advice from a few here I'm starting on the Cosentyx and will hopefully be playing in May with a bit of luck when i arrive back up North.
@Biggie Smalls thank you for the advice mate made a world of difference and gave me a different mindset pal.

Awesome mate !
It's cool having you back on the forum and even better to think you'll be back playing soon .
I am 1 month into totally revamping my technique into being a backfoot batsman , due to my knees not coping with a front foot style ..... I've got 5 months to get it right before the season . It's these kinds of new challenges that can, ironically, keep us in the game and not getting bored/tired - gives us goals to work towards .
When I have my moments of doubt and frustration I'll be thinking of all the guys in a similar position (you included) who are cracking on with it , and it will help to stay positive .
Best of luck with your health and the start to the season!

Well with medication I went 3 years clear and in the last month have suffered again!!

Back to the meds did a year clear but my body is absolute baggage.

Bought so many bats my body can�t handle wrist elbows and never learn buying heavy bats!

Look out for my sale !!!! Time to go back to 2/8 !

This is sometimes why weight is very important in bats not pick up weight but actual weight

There will be a couple of the GN player editions in the sale pile
