I Broke my foot

[Paa Langfart]

I have a Jones fracture of the foot,  like Olsen,  as well as 3 other meta tarsals broken, and in doing some online research, I found this about Greg Olsen and his broken foot ( x2).  I found it interesting and hope it works well for him and we get his play for a full season this year.  Off season and all.

He's just getting paid. They're not indicated for what he had. 

Conclusions LIPUS can stimulate radiographic bone healing in fresh fractures. Although there is weak evidence that LIPUS also supports radiographic healing in delayed unions and nonunions, it was not possible to pool the data because of a paucity of sufficient studies with similar outcome measures.

All I know is that he came back in 3 weeks last season when pretty much everyone expected him to be out for the rest of the season.  And whether or not a  treatment is  " indicated for what he has " means very little to nothing if you have the money to pay for what ever treatment you think might help. My bet is Olsen checked with team doctors and they said something along the lines of  " it won't hurt your healing time "

I bet Cam was doing stuff that wasn't  "indicated"  for his shoulder as well.

does that mean you’re out at least through training camp and preseason?

How did you recover from it? 

I am 4 weeks into a non walking foot cast that runs up  to my knee - hopefully tomorrow I move up to a walking cast for 4 weeks then hopefully no more cast.

Being indicated for a specific disease or treatment is just a guideline for physicians many times.  From being in the industry physicians use all kind of things for off label uses.  Sometimes it isn’t worth the investment from a company to struggle through the FDA process to get a indication for a disease state that is not that prevalent.  But that doesn’t stop physicians from using it for treatment. And doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

Hope you heal well and quickly!
