Hmm, okay thanks. I guess my only thought might be that some weakness in the muscles surrounding the joint could lead to a chipped bone if it get jostled awkwardly. Even with rehab they wouldn't be as strong as before when he first returned to action. That is, of course, out of my area of expertise so I'm not going even try backing that speculation up.
I feel like mumps has detracted us from the ACTUAL hilarious injury: Someone squeezed his neck and it infected his salivary gland. That's some Grade-A Crosby right there.
That's also some Grade-A made up BS I bet so they could try to save face.
Also Maata seeking a second opinion is a smart move as long as it is someone not affiliated with the Pens.

It fits the swelling he had on his neck after the Carolina game that one could see during his postgame interviews, so unless he had mumps symptoms for 2+ weeks...

yeah, I was thinking what are the odds for that one? getting his salivary glands infected right before getting infected with the mumps...

He quit hockey a week ago and is living a quiet and solitary life in rural Saskatechwan as a tractor salesman.

A real jerk thing
It is insane to me that people are not vaccinated against the mumps. It was almost erradicated in the states a decade ago (for a while the annual rate of infection was less than 300 people PER YEAR). But now, partially because of the insane anti-vaccination lunatics, it's returning. Jesus.

lets not exagerrate here.
orchitis is the most frequent complication of mumps infection in adult males after parotitis. its a logical question that anyone with medical knowledge would ask when talking about mumps. meningitis is more rare.
there was one thread in which i mentioned crosby's sexuality, in which rossi insinuated that crosby might be gay. aside from that thread, i have never commented on sid's sexuality.
Proof Darwin's theory is still at work. But Crosby and a few of the players were vaccinated.

The vaccine isn't 100% effective-- no vaccine ever really is. But because less and less people are getting vaccinated, our herd immunity is decreasing, which means that people like Sid who don't have the immunity (despite the vaccination) are increasingly at risk.
It's absolutely bonkers to me that the NHL has to deal with a serious communicable disease outbreak in this day and age. It's irresponsible and stupid, and one more symptom of our health system's slow decline into absurdity.

His original timeline wasn´t that bad, but apparently there are some complications with him. He was trying to skate on Friday, but wasn´t feeling well while doing it. So, nobody knows.. But it shouldn´t be THAT long until he comes back..
He was playing with a broken foot for a while, funny eh?

Sid getting the mumps and possibly spreading it to everyone else keeps reminding me of the Mighty Ducks (the first and best one).
The Pens are eventually going to all get the mumps and going to have to forfeit the season like the Panther did in the movie because of the measles.

No, definitely not all. This is just COMPLETELY WRONG. I mean, I don´t even know/care if Craig Adams was vaccinated, but I´m sure as hell that he´s immune.

It can be individual and there are multiple phases. But 2-3 weeks, I guess. Sid might be in his second half of it already.
I gotta say .. year after year after year with the injuries/players on the sidelines. Its pretty disheartening.

How are scientists not using him and his blood to cure most diseases in the world?

I'm sure that this (bolded) is a far fewer number of people than just your run-of-the-mill irresponsible parent syndrome. Most people get the measles/mumps shot at a young age. I'm a teacher, and I'm not shocked at all anymore at the severity and amount of neglect from "parents". Also, most of the people getting it are Canadian, so I blame Canada.
My uneducated guess is that Crosby already had the virus in him at that point but his body was doing an effective job fighting the virus off and when he was grabbed the already somewhat compromised gland swelled rather easily. Which would make sense (to me at least) considering the first test they ran showing the high antibody count and that he had no other symptoms including the other gland not swelling.

Pic looks like he's skating on his own with a coach (Kadar maybe?) but that's better than last week.
