A note on Zion Nelson

[TheOriginalCane]

Only important question left - Will he be a go for the basketball team in dean’s cup?

With those knees? Although he's probably in better shape than the vast majority of law students and med students.

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

Thanks Zion!!! Best of luck

I've got the same issue. Never had any major injuries or surgery either. Any tips? lol

Apparently there's the gel injections that go between the knee and alleviate that bone on bone feeling. They wear off after a year or something like that.

I also heard about an expensive stem cell procedure that regrows the meniscus.

If it cain't be fixed with duct tape and bailing wire then write it off.

Botched surgery and/or recovery on a simple knee cleanup lead to further injury and ultimately resulted in him shredding the rest of the cartilage and now has to live with no cartilage in that knee. Too painful to do actual football movements.

Bone rubbing bone in his knee socket.

That sucks majorly. What happened to the world class uhealth doctors and everything we are supposed to have?

Kenny Phillips had a similar issue. I don’t remember the treatment but it never worked out for him.

They are. Some here just like pushing agendas

There are synthetic cushions that can be inserted. I do not know if you can play football after that but I know guys who had that to delay total knee replacements.

I thought WD 40 worked on everything..

Nothing grows real cartilage yet. They will drill or poke holes in the the end of the bone for stem cells from the bone marrow to make fibro cartilage that might last a year. Not the same or hard as real cartilage.

The gel is a lube like hyaluronic acid that has to be injected into the joint. That works good for about six months to eight months. The three injection over several weeks is better than the single injection. Some people it might not work. Just a temporary fix.

I have a torn meniscus and waiting for approval from the insurance company for the injections.

I also had all the cartilage removed from one shoulder after doing the stem cell fibro cartilage to fill in the divots, pot holes and then the hyaluronic acid injections several times over the years after three shoulder operations.

I dragged it out as long as I could until they had to remove what was left. Bone on bone. Now it looks like a shoulder joint replacement. Two different types.

O-line should be beastly. May be best we’ve seen in forever. We shall see.
