God being at work sucked!!!! I wanted to post so bad, but couldn't. I was just standing back and watching. I am glad to know he might be able to play this season. I am just glad this only affects his basketball life; not his personal life.
O and I guess it's safe to say the Spurs were not dejected against the Knicks the other night; they just sucked?
Without getting too technical......no. An inflammatory response would involve cytokine activation of the immune system, which doesn't happen in this case. It does involve the bone matrix breaking down and reforming with a greater tendency in areas of higher stress. This is a normal response.
On Manus bone scan, the region would have appeared brighter than others. And since it was a Nuclear scan, it's termed a "hot spot".
What's crazy to me is that he dropped 32 the night before all this ankle stuff came about, publicly at least.
I'm glad we actually have somebody that knows about this stuff so I can STFU and stop talking out of my ass...
The act that it's a vertical, non-weight-bearing bone and not in the foot sounds encouraging to me. (In fact, I wonder how many organizations would have even caught an injury this early, much less sat the player down to be safe.)
I'm not exactly overjoyed about the news. First of all, "distal" fibula means the end of the bone, i.e. right at the ankle joint. A stress reaction is a disruption of bone function, due to overload and/or insufficient rest. The difference between a stress reaction and a stress fracture is mostly a matter of degree.
But there is another condition (can't remember the name) that can occur that is more of a chronic, or degenerative problem with the bone. I was worried about it at the end of last season, because of a couple of things I heard. It's not exactly the same thing that happened to Bo Jackson, but has some similarities. And, yes, it could be career ending.
Maybe he needs to take Boniva.

If everyone did that this site would only have 3 posters.
i had a similar injury in high school because i had some arch and big toe problem that caused me to compensate a little bit everytime i took a step. I was a long distance runner, anyways, you feel an EXTREMELY sharp pain everytime you push off, or in Manu's case, push off and make a cut to change direction. I just had to run straight, but the game of basketball is all about cutting and changing directions. The pain kind of "numbs" up after you get a little warmed up, at least in my case so I'm guessing that's how Manu played through it, but any kind of push off or extra stress on that leg would send that pain up my entire shin. I ran with it for about 2 weeks with it till it started to hurt way too much, sat out 2 weeks, then came back with a "compression sleeve" of some sort and never had a problem with it since, but then again, I haven't done anything too strenous on a daily basis, since high school. I have been physically active, playing pick-up ball daily in college my freshman year, jogging, playing tennis and such... i'm a couple of years out of college and it hasn't hurt since. I remember my trainer in high school telling me that if you rest and just LET THE INJURY HEAL PROPERLY, i wouldn't have to worry about it, and i guess i did one uva job resting.
So I am a bit confused, being from ND I am out of the loop on certain San Antonio things.
Am i supposed to be for Peter or Chris?
I do enjoy good radio smack though.
Ah gotcha. I hated immunology.
I'm sure all the guards will get more time with Manu out, but I can see Hill finishing some games, getting some crunch time minutes.You got it all wrong... this means more playing time for Finley
Now it's gonna be a stress reaction for TP and TD... this is the best news compared to what could have been but the problem now is the big 2 will be washed up after the rrt
Peter Burns supports ST Chris Duel only shows up to start ! Go click on their names and see who posts more and each day.
mike vick is probably wishing they didnt
I didn't know that dogs could pray!!
What the are you talkin about? I don't care about "e-cred"; instead, merely explaining how obnoxious your attention- act was.
And Lanny, what's the in point? As soon as I ignore ONE, the bas makes 2 more just AS, if not MORE annoying aliases.
Manu will be back in less than a week.
Mouse and Peter should call in Friday tear that lame show a new ass!
When did you become the whinny of ST? Saved by the bell in on TBS why not go rub one out and let it go already? we got the hint! you hate mouse we got it already!!
Dam! you have some serious issues brah! You still upset I took your high score away on Ms pac man in the arcade? Let it go dude your fighting a lost cause.
Don't make me pull out the smack bat on your tender ass. Go with johnsmith or MiamiHeat they seem to be more in your league.
I'm glad we actually have somebody that knows about this stuff so I can STFU and stop talking out of my ass...
Medicine I know, Spurs and basketball....I'll let you guys do the talking.
Is this coming from the same source that said there was gonna be a press conference?
You know chicks too as evidenced by Paloma....
Press release, press conference......stuff like that is easy to mix up while on cell phones.
But yea i think this whole 'Manu serious injury" story is a hoax.
It was good to hear Chris give LJ credit on the air though.
The same one you were saying "Is BAD news" You mean?
