Injuries: Expired Thread

Tendonitis is basically a fancy word for soreness but the Celtics should be cautious with this. Assuming he gets through the game today ok, I'm sitting him against Detroit and maybe even Washington too

I thought that about tendonitis too until I got it in my elbow last summer. It's pretty debilitating when it's full on flaring up, it's worse than just plain soreness. The hardest thing is for it to heal (as much as it does heal) it requires rest, mine took months to get better as rest wasn't really an option and my elbow definitely isn't taking the beating that JB's knee is. My guess as a non-doctor poorly educated by the internet is he'll be playing in discomfort a lot and needing to rest once in a while when it gets bad.

Sounds like he has to get on a Glucosamine Regimen. It will strengthen those tendons.

Tatum still apparently feeling the COVID effects:

Yup.

Sounds like a “chronic pulmonary covidopathy”.

The long term consequences of even mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic COVID will take a while to elucidate.

**** sucks.

I wonder if Rob is feeling post-covid issues as well. He seems a little less bouncy out there. There are still flashes, but he's playing lower minutes and not as consistently displaying awe-inspiring athleticism.

**** sucks.

Almost four months on from my bout with Covid now, and I still have the same cough. It's always been very mild, and does seem to be going away, but it's going away at a glacial pace - change is not noticeable on timescales shorter than several weeks - it's only every 2-3 weeks that I can reevaluate and say, "Hm, I think I haven't coughed as much the last few weeks as the few weeks before that."

I am youngish, healthy, and active, and had a very, very mild covid experience, and yet somehow still managed to catch these long-term effects.

Strangely, in my case, it does not seem to affect my athletic performance. I have not noticed any loss of performance when running, and even multiple hours of cardio (did a four hour trail run a couple weeks back) do not exacerbate the cough. It's just there, all the time, very mild, not really seeming to be improved or worsened by anything.

Cons: I'm really sorry for Jayson. It sucks that he has to get through this
Pros: He's still playing pretty decent. I'm feeling like there might be another leap when he fully recovers. He'll start playing like someone took huge weights of his feet

I tested positive 3-weeks ago and I'm still dealing with a few effects, as well. When it initially hit me, I felt as if I was in a head-on collision the day before. EVERY muscle in my body hurt. And all of my old sports injuries came back to remind me what I had done to each & every body part that I had broken. It actually blew my mind how this virus was effecting my body like it was. Today, my body still aches, a lot more than normal, and I get out of breath just walking up the stairs. I played D1 basketball, started lifting weights, hard, upon graduation and have kept my body in the best possible shape with now working full-time and having a family. Never once smoked a cigarette and rarely drink alcohol. For a virus to effect a healthy adult like this has, I can completely understand what Tatum is dealing with and it's not just an 'excuse'. Get well my friend!

You too. You're definitely going through something I didn't go through - I had a much more mild covid experience. The reason I made that post was to provide an anecdotal example of how young, healthy people who are almost asymptomatic can still have long-term effects. I've read a lot about potential long-term lung damage and the like, and with my cough still dragging on 3-4 months afterwards, it was making me pretty anxious.

Point is, it's not something to be taken lightly. Anyone thinking, "Oh, Tatum is young and healthy, he'll be fine," that's not really how this one works. There's a lot we don't know yet, and it's smart for everyone to be playing it safe.

Tendonitis is basically a fancy word for soreness but the Celtics should be cautious with this. Assuming he gets through the game today ok, I'm sitting him against Detroit and maybe even Washington too

I thought that about tendonitis too until I got it in my elbow last summer. It's pretty debilitating when it's full on flaring up, it's worse than just plain soreness. The hardest thing is for it to heal (as much as it does heal) it requires rest, mine took months to get better as rest wasn't really an option and my elbow definitely isn't taking the beating that JB's knee is. My guess as a non-doctor poorly educated by the internet is he'll be playing in discomfort a lot and needing to rest once in a while when it gets bad.

The only time I get really bad tendonitis is when I arm wrestle. It's completely out of proportion with any other kind of impact I get from any other physical activity. The pain can be completely debilitating. I've now banned myself from ever armwrestling again, but, 5 or 6 years back, before I'd given up on it entirely, I got really drunk and took on all comers at a work christmas party, right before going on a multi-day ski tour with my sis.

Long story short: I was in pretty good shape, but hadn't skied in a couple seasons. By the end of the 5 days skiing, my legs were completely destroyed, and my elbows were still so painful I could barely get my boots on and off. Literally popping one buckle, stopping for a few seconds to catch my breath through the pain, pop one more buckle, etc. So we're out there in the middle of nowhere, skiing between cabins, and I've just got four limbs that aren't working at all. Every time I eat **** in a snow drift, which was happening pretty often by that point because my legs were literally just giving out when skiing downhill, I would just lie there wondering how I was going to get up with no functioning limbs.

Absolutely the most miserable backcountry excursion I've ever had. Tendonitis can be awful.

I got mine splitting a few cords of gnarly ass maple and elm, some of the maple was over 48" across and I was taking it on blacksmith style setting a wedge with a sledge and then pounding the wedge through with a 4lb hammer. I was in a groove, losing weight, taking my aggressions out and then all of a sudden the pain in the outside of my elbow started kicking in, it was miserable for a couple months. I overdid it hard though, earned the pain the dumb way.

Having weight lifted, heavy, for the past (10)+ years, I was constantly battling tendonitis as my muscles were growing at a rapid rate which didn't allow for the tendons to catch up. After years of suffering, I stumbled upon a supplement that actually focuses on the repairing of tendons amongst other things. It allowed me to continue doing what I love to do without the limitations that tendonitis brings to the table. If anyone is truly suffering from tendonitis, do some research on Super Cissus Quadrangularis. It took a few weeks to start working but once it did, 95% of the pain was gone. Sorry to derail the thread! Just wanted to share.

when does Smart get back? Games are no fun to watch without him out there.

Nothing definitive, as of yet.

Not that it matters in this case, but, for the record, that was bad-thoma you quoted, not me.

That's good news. We don't need any more injuries.
