Parnaby fears for future
The 27-year-old has not played since the Carling Cup defeat to Sunderland in September after injuring his troublesome back in training.[LNB]A slipped disc earlier in his career has returned to irritate Parnaby, who has suffered sleepless nights due to the pain of his latest setback.[LNB]The pain is not the only aspect keeping the Blues defender awake at night, as he admits his long-term future has been playing on his mind.[LNB]"This is the most worried I've ever been about an injury," Parnaby told the Birmingham Mail.[LNB]"The first thing that enters your head is that will it be a long-term problem. I know that it's a bad way to think but that's just the way it is. [LNB]"I've been thinking how long will I be able to stick it. It's something that has been lying idle for a while, it was years ago when I first did it.[LNB]''I slipped a disc and had another disc pushing on to a big nerve that runs down my back. It gives you irritation in other places but I had just a big spasm in my back for a week or two.[LNB]''I had an injection to sort it out and hopefully that will settle it for a while and get me through the rest of the season.[LNB]"I couldn't sleep for a week, it was ridiculous. When it's on the nerve it affects everything but the doctor sorted me out with some decent pills, which helped me out a bit.[LNB]"Fingers crossed, I can just keep doing my exercises as much as I can and strengthen it as much as I can. Then I might be able to get away with it.[LNB]"Now I feel more confident, I'm moving around quite well now and I've just got to be patient then hopefully it will sort itself out."[LNB][LNB]
