^Spot on.

You also have to consider "letting it heal on its own" as a riskier venture since optimal results can be achieved thru, essentially, putting things back together the way they SHOULD be, rather than allowing for granulation, scarring, bad positioning, etc.

I love the name captfluoro!

Interventionalist?

You guys are lifesavers.

Nah just general. I do the basic stuff, myelograms, CT giuded biopsies, shoulder arthrograms. No vascular work.

The name was a joke we had in residency. On the fluoroscopy rotation the staff radiologist was Captain Fluoro and the resident was his sidekick Barium Boy. Since I've finished residency I have moved up to Capt Fluoro.

With the name Epistaxis, are you ENT?

As a radiologist as well as someone who has torn their meniscus and had arthroscopic surgery, its not bad. MRI is definitive study for diagnosis. Got my knee scoped and Ortho gave me crutches which I used for about 6 hours the next morning, felt like I didn't need them so I didn't use them. Went to rehab for a few weeks, was told I couldn't golf for 3 months but I was back playing in about 2. Happened about 9-10 years ago, have had no trouble since. Understand that I'm 44 and not the most active guy anymore but I've had no trouble. Knee will occasionally pop and click but so does my other knee and there is no pain. Sucks getting older. Good luck to you.

haha guess it just depends on your luck. pops tried to do the same thing u did and ended up fuging it up even more....he can't stay away from golf

Any surgery on a tendon is many months of recovery. My doc told me when I had my rotator cuff surgery that it was 12 months until 100%. It feels 100% now (9 months now) but it's not 100% strength yet.

It was 6 weeks before I was allowed to move it actively, 4 months before I could lift 5 lbs., and another month before I could lift unlimited weight... so that was 5 months before I could start strengthening it. I'm sure a knee is similar. You just have to be patient, but I wouldn't count on "just letting it heal." Listen to the dr.

Meniscus is NOT a tendon....it is the cartilage in the knee.

That recovery period is about average.

I had my knee scoped....several tears in my meniscus (some older...one new). I was back playing basketball in about 6-7 weeks. Full speed at about 8 weeks.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
