OK... I'll bite. So 5% of people that get said surgery don't recover and then the other 95% are absolutely perfect! Back to cartwheels and sky-diving! Before surgery, I had to walk with a limp and literally my lower back and right leg ached all day long. Like someone stabbing you with a knife. The truth is almost the other way around. Maybe a small percentage of people completely recover as if it was never an issue. The idea that Motiejunas will recover to where it is not an issue is a questionable one at best. Personally, I don't feel it is likely. I hope so though. Don't think 95% people recover to never have an issue again. Jesus. You are sitting here criticizing people for their thought processes?
This really pisses me off. Ton of stupid people on this board who somehow keep saying that DMo is always injured. 1 freaking injury in his career, but somehow he's "always injured". Like 10 low IQ people said this on this board already.
further proof that DD would make an excellent politican with this "argument" devoid of content that the majority already knew. Bravo Bravo! You are named malakas therefore whatever you say doesn't count. You are amazing DD. No matter I am not the one who said that this was a minor surgery or have an agenda or make irrational posts all over the forum. Another has the name another has the virtue.
Like with any surgery, rehab matters, sounds like you didn't do a very good job of it or you had your surgery a long time ago when the results weren't as good. Your personal experience in no way changes what the success numbers are today.
I curious to know why you didn't think he would have setbacks. Especially knowing the physicality of the game. Why did you refute that notion. A lot of posters brought that up and you debated against that. But hey it is what it is.
Yes but Francis your situation is not = to DMo's situation - you are extrapolating out from personal experience - not from what he went through. My father had it, his left leg was tingling and in lower back pain after the surgery he was better than ever. My guess....MY GUESS is that yours was way worse than my fathers.... Let's hope DMo's is not that serious or Dekker for that matter.....and that it was one of the minor ones as reported. DD
Jones get some random unheard freak injury every 5 games or so, no one ever said he's "always injured". More people said "DMo is always injured" than Jones is injured all the time.
It depends on what you mean by setbacks, the reason he's missed a month is due to pain stemming from his back muscles not being strong enough yet. That's something that Dwight and many other players simply played through. There's no reason to do so with DMo due to the glut at PF so they are letting him do more rehab while they set up to make some moves. It's win/win, that extra rehab could make for pain free play down the stretch AND Jones' trade value doesn't zero out due to being buried on the bench.
even if you recover initially and are completely pain free there is a very high possibility that you will have within 3 years pain in your back or some minor symptoms though not in the full extent as pre injury. There is also a possibillity that many years down the road there will be need for another surgery. Nerves are unpredictable there is no doctor that can put his hand on the fire and say after his surgery you will have no nerve trouble. NONE. For the standards of this injury you are in the precentage that is considered fully recovered francis. Also btw a lot depends on what you do from now, the proper exercises, have low weight, don't lift heavy weights to try to not aggravate the condition.
Jones gets always injured and futhermore his nerve injury was much more dangeours than Dmo's because of how unpredictable it was and the lack of any significant surgeries to solve it. But of course you say that "noone says that Jones is always injured" even though all the forum does, since you are not even a real Rocket fan only a DMO only troll.
in the machine that reduces the weight or normal run? That's very good news. Let's say it takes two more weeks to have 5 on 5 then maybe in a month if nothing bad happens he will be back in a game. How do you always post news about Dmo?
And for most of DMo's career, he hasn't been producing. How did DMo look in his first two seasons, including the playoffs? Which corresponded to the only time that DMo has looked like he belongs in the NBA. I'm hopeful we will see it again if he can stay healthy. You are comparing success rates and recovery to the general population, not folks playing at the NBA level.
Everybody body reacts differently, it recovers at it's on timetable. Some people will heal faster than others. Now it's quite silly to hang your hat on just one mindset when it comes to a player being able to recover or play like they once did after surgery. We've all seen players who didn't return to form after major or minor surgeries. And DD it's not about changing another person mind. It's called presenting/looking at the different scenarios.
That is 100% true.....it is not apples to apples at all, the Rockets will have the best training and staff available. And their JOB is their bodies...better chance of success in the NBA than not. Of course, but when people are actively ROOTING for a guy to be out because it helps a player they like...that is crap. I like DMo a lot, I think he is like an UBER role player, an efficient smart Shane Battier type of glue guy.....but that doesn't mean I don't like Tjones or would cheer for them to be injured. Even Josh Smith - while he is not my favorite player, you can acknowledge that he really helps the team by moving the ball and his body around, which is why I like DMo so much...the reason I don't like Smith as much is because he is a poor shooter - I prefer two way players.
