Injury Report: As the injuries roll in... (Cdh, tvr)

Yeesh. Good thing he's got a whole summer to heal but damn shoulder injuries are no joke.

Mrs. Hank is actually back home with her mother right now, who had rotator cuff surgery a month ago. That is some bad news. She'd literally recover more quickly from a hip transplant.

The shoulder and rotator cuff are ridiculous things. The amount of tiny little muscles and tendons and sockets and whatever that can barely lift anything on their own but entirely destroy your shoulder if anything is wrong with them is too damn high.

lotta that in nature.

The shoulder is the most complex thing in the universe.

Each and everyone of us is just an unsuccessful saturation mutagenesis screening.

When I was 17 I worked long summer days at a grocery store, doing a lot of repetitive lifting with my right arm (milk jugs, dog food bags, beer cases, etc). Come football season in August, I realized I couldn't throw a ball anymore. Not even just horsing around for warmups... it would just flutter off my hand because something had tweaked inside that right shoulder.

Two decades later, that shoulder still gives me a bad time if I throw a baseball or football for more than about 20 minutes. That's without any major injury ever happening to it, and with 20 years to heal. It's like when you get in a relatively small accident but the car is never quite right again.

So what you're saying is that but for that summer job at a grocery store, things would have been different. You'd have gone pro in a heartbeat. You'd be making millions of dollars, living in a big old mansion somewhere, soaking it up in a hot tub with your soulmate.

Fortunately for everyone involved, it takes very little shoulder strength in the first place to hold a clipboard or a water cup.

At least grocery work makes it seem like a more reasonable shoulder injury. My wife tore her rotator cuff carrying our daughter in an infant car seat into and out of day care every day.

Had a sprain when I was 15 and now have a similar thing in my right shoulder. Different flexibilities - when doing that stretch where you clasp your hands behind your back one over and the other under, I have significantly different results depending on which direction I go. If I’m thinking about it I can just feel that the right shoulder is ever so slightly forward from the left wrt my general posture.

Never bothered me until a few years ago when I took up powerlifting and got reasonably ok at it (nothing close to competition level but I can squat 3 plates for reps). Those little differences and tweaks get exacerbated under heavy weights; I’ve had to deload and even stop multiple times due to pain/tendonitis resulting from lack of mobility. All because 10 years ago some guy’s dad got a little too excited having finally caught me in a neighborhood game of football and decided it was time for a perfect form tackle.

 

[Stickpucker]

Any word if Aho had an offseason surgery?

 

[Roboturner913]

I sneezed and tore some of my rib cartilage and I'm pretty sure I'll never be a championship hot dog contest guy now

I'm thinking of suing the makers of Claritin for making a subpar product that cost me a million-dollar career

So this thread is now a "dumb injuries you've suffered" thread? Stand back fellas, I collapsed a lung while playing pool.

 

[The Faulker 27]

I have poison Ivy. It's every where. EVERYWHERE right now.

 

[raynman]

Pulled a muscle in my back while washing my hands. Also I’m somewhat clumsy but have gotten very good at recovering/catching myself over the years. Few years back I wrenched my back really badly stumbling out of my Jeep but recovering before I fell. If I would’ve just taken the fall I probably wouldn’t have gotten hurt haha

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Recently stabbed myself in the hand while cleaning my blender. Just grabbed the inside with my full palm thinking “these blades can’t possibly be sharp.”

Wasn’t a serious cut but was a seriously moronic thing to do.

Ok, imma need some details on this one.

Are you just ridiculously skinny?

 

[tarheelhockey]

I pulled a brain muscle reading the Trade Board

Someone else pulled their anus with all that flaming diarrhea

 

[My Special Purpose]

I pinched a nerve in my back while ironing.

The good news is that my (now-ex) wife was there and witnessed it, so I didn't have to do my own ironing as long as we were married. I may have stayed an extra year or two just for that little bonus.

 

[Unsustainable]

I ate chipotle, had too much red sauce, and it hurt.

 

[WreckingCrew]

I fractured my big toe in high school playing soccer in the gym...ball went was heading out through the doors (still in play), i got in behind and slipped as I was turning into the kick, and kicked the post between the (open) double-doors

Also snapped a super-small drill bit trying to remove a stripped screw in my RC car and thankfully hit the top of my thumb and ran across, rather than straight down. I can still feel a slight tinge of dull pain if I rub over the spot I hit (5-6 years later).

On the real topic, has anyone heard if Martinook needs surgery or just had a lingering injury that needed to heal? And while we know CDH will probably miss the beginning of the season, what was TVRs timetable (was he also 4-6 months)?

I'm pretty sure I got nerve damage in my left shoulder from a hit in to the boards once in the beer league games in Cary/Garner (fairly sure this injury was in Garner). I could still play and do my brewing shit since that was what I was doing full time at that point, but I was feeling a major reduction in strength in that shoulder and was getting a feeling of numbness combined with borderline electric feeling tingling sensation through my entire left arm concentrated in my shoulder. Took about a year and a few extra months for that to fully recover, one of those icyhot tens units helped immensely.

I have a left shoulder injury that has been chronic pain for 13 years
