Injuries: Expired Thread

exculpatory · Post #561 » by **exculpatory** » Fri Dec 20, 2019 6:15 pm

Negative MR on metatarsal - phalangeal joint of L big toe & no stress fracture anywhere.
Extremely good news on Gordon.
Hopefully, he will be back for Xmas in Toronto after intensive local RX & NSAIDS.
PS Although not relevant to Gordon, that is a very common location for gouty arthritis.

This stuff w Marcus is very concerning.

To my non-ophthalmologic mind, this suggests his bilateral conjunctivitis is due to a resistant or difficult to treat organism such as a gram negative bacteria like pseudomonas or a bad ass virus like Herpes Simplex or even a fungus. This is unusual in an extraordinarily fit & healthy young man WITHOUT chronic disease and/or age resulting in relative immunodeficiency & thereby predisposing him to such an organism. It is also possible that he has contemporaneous infectious keratitis - harder to treat that conjunctivitis. Much much less likely would be a NON-infectious conjunctivitis and/or keratitis and/or scleritis and/or uveitis due to an autoimmune disease & other things. Unquestionably, he is being followed by world class ophthalmologists at MGH, the Brigham, BI, BU or Tufts etc. Sheesh,

Team must know how Smart got that eye infection.

Thank goodness! I've been really concerned that our guys who have missed half the season with various injuries might not be getting enough rest.

Bullet dodged with Hayward news. Still makes me weary.

To be fair Kemba could use some rest.

How about, say, 5 days off between the last two games? :wink:

well, i don't think so. He has no injury history, and is one of the healthiest (knock on wood) players in the NBA over the last decade.

80, 79, 81, and 82 games played at 35 mpg over the last 4 years.

Because it's not the doctor who has the infection.

As a completely non-medical person looking at this list, it seems as if a fungal keratitis is the only one listed that could take this long--and it could take a while longer:

Have a sometimes seen Smart in glasses? Does that mean he might wear contacts, which could increase the likelihood of such, as well?

At least we seem to have some relatively durable PGs (not counting Smart, of course) for once!

After the C's were getting injured loafing, they now have played fewer games than any other team in the NBA--the Nuggets are second, with 27 to the C's 26. The Bucks have played 30 and the 6ers 31!

That means the C's will be grinding while the rest of the league is resting up later in the year.

Also, while they don't want to run out of big-club days for Tremont and Tacko, I imagine they do want to give them at least close to their 45 eligible days.

Huh? Confused. So he's more likely to play against Charlotte after being ruled OUT a few hours ago?

QUESTIONABLE to OUT to PROBABLE (to AVAILABLE) in a span of four hours.

Or did Stevens mean he's PROBABLE after the game today?

Fire the intern.

Tweet said "probable afternoon today."

Anyway, expecting both to be AVAILABLE for the Christmas game. I NEED TO SEE OUR BEST FIVE AVAILABLE FOR LONG STRETCHES OF GAMES!

EDIT:
I'm wrong again.

Can't expect anything in terms of our injury/health status.

Good news re: Marcus. I take it they've determined he's past the infectious state, if it is contagious.

cloverleaf · Post #579 » by **cloverleaf** » Sun Dec 22, 2019 9:50 pm

Still sounds to me like Gordo is hurting.

Fungal keratitis and/or conjunctivitis would be weird in a young healthy man.
I think it is probably a gram negative bacterial or viral b/l conjunctivitis and/or keratitis taking longer to resolve.
Yes - contacts are a known risk factor for keratitis.
