I remember a doctor explaining it to me by saying it's idiopathic meaning the doctors are idiots and can't figure it out yet! While obviously that isn't true, it did a lot to mentally help a scared kid who was in a lot of pain. I've been told by doctors so often that they don't know why I'm hurting, it's actually reliving when they find something wrong! Because that means there is something they can do to help me!

    I had meniscus (menisectomy) surgery and trying to get back turned to pre-injury level turned out to be difficult. I had several nerve issues, many nerves(5) were damaged because of surgery. What made it harder was that no one could figure what was wrong saw about 30 doctor’s to finally get the right treatment and surgery. I ended up seeing a specialist in peripheral nerve surgery (this type of surgeon doesn’t take insurance and only a few in the country). But was diagnosed with nerve damage from arthroscopic knee surgery so I ended having a few nerve surgeries to try and repair the damage, which worked. Now I’m back to my sport and made nationals.

    Lonzo is also pretty clearly hypermobile, and as someone who plays basketball with hyper mobility, there's a lot of weird tendon pain issues you can have if your muscles aren't sufficiently stabilizing. Zo has some really unique movement patterns, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was related to some kind of musculoskeletal instability. I had a mystery foot injury that put me out of commission for almost 2 years but barely even showed as more than inflammation on an mri. It's only now that I've switched shoes and rehabed the strength in my feet that I can play pain free. On the timeline of a pro athlete though that could be unthinkable.

    From Lonzo dunk compilation videos, I see similarities with D Rose...
    EXACTLY like D rose, Lonzo ONLY jumps (jumped) with his left leg OR a left-right plant. NEVER a single-leg jump with his right, or a double-leg jump with a right-left plant.
    And funny story: this is EXACTLY how I fucked up my knees too! Not so funnny actually.
    Jump imbalance is a real risk factor - we don't need academic evidence to see that. We overload one side, and ignore the other. It's a matter of time till you have a bad landing on your weak side. And it's a matter of time till your strong side can't handle the volume and intensity anymore and your body starts to develop imbalances below and above the knee. Thats when things REALLY start going downhill (speaking from experience).
    Coaches need to see this and force their players to take a step back to balance out both sides. The only reason this wouldn't be done, is IMPATIENCE and COMFORT. We feel comfortable using our strong side and fixing our weak side takes time and effort...
    ...but eventually, you're gonna have to pay the price.

      ​@@bonkersdonkers7381 You're right. Strengthening both sides independently, as well as working on mechanics / motor control of both sides independently. In practical terms: practice jumping and landing of either leg, and weightlifting exercises using either side independently. But don't forget there's a lot that goes in-between weightlifting and jumping: mechanics, motor control, coordination... That's what will tie strength from the gym and movement on the court together.

      This is an interesting point, but I'm not sure how much we can do. IN training we can make an athlete jump off their nondominant leg and strengthen it for sure, but if an athlete only jumps off one leg or plant in-game and has been doing it for 10 years it gets really difficult to "even them out". With the amount of volume your strong leg goes through compared to your weak, it would be impossible to match it, but I do see the importance of spending some time working on it.

    My biggest issue with this whole injury recovery process has been the Bull’s coach Billy Donovan’s updates. They’ve been so consistently negative and scathing towards Ball’s recovery timeline and seem to place a lot of the blame back onto the player for injury issues the team had a responsibility to resolve. I understand the frustration of one of your stat players not being able to play but it really doesn’t seem like Donovan is in Ball’s corner whatsoever with the comments made so far and I can only imagine how much more difficult recovering would be with that lack of support.

    I had chronic knee pain through high school, I remember hearing the term patella femoral, but the doctor just basically told me to strengthen my legs. I had to take anti inflammatories constantly to play sports. Stairs and sitting still my with my knees bent were hard.
    Eventually went to a chiropractor, who told me my hips were drastically shifted. Took 2 years of regular hip adjustments but my pain slowly but surely went away, got to about 95% relief. Standing upright my feet used to make a 90 degree angle with each other, and now maybe like 15 or 20. In college I started lifting instead of just being active and being in sports and remaining pain went away.

    But he was turning the corner before his injury, just finding and establishing his role. He got a big contract.
    I fear he’ll never recoup the burst and quickness he had as a teenager. If a Knee is lingering this long, is it possible this injury could be career ending? His path is altered now and Im afraid he’s going down a path a kin to Derrick Rose and Brandon Roy.

    PT here. I’ve been watching him since day one. It’s his ankle/foot creating the hip weakness that trickles into bad knee mechanics. I’ve said he wouldn’t last even before the injuries started. Wonky mechanics aren’t always a guarantee of pain/dysfunction but he’s been suspect from day one. Hopefully someone in the room will check the ankle. Trouble is many physicians are only focused on the individual parts and don’t have sufficient understanding of complex interregional dependencies.

    Hey doc, different topic but i'd like your input on USADA and UFC, specifically with IV ban and the recent change of less than 100 picograms of steroids not counting as a positive test.
    My issue is some of these USADA rules have major impacts on the legacy/career of the fighters, but I'm not sure if these rules are accurate from a medical perspective.
    Should Jon Jones' positive steroid tests be reversed because of USADAs rule, from a medical perspective? If Islam Makhachev used IV to rehydrate before his last fight, should that cause his win to be disqualified? A lot of the fans just think "rules are rules", but the basis of these rules is lacking.

      @antonvannelli9085 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In some cases foam rolling can help to neurologically reactivate that area for the brain (sensory information/bloodflow etc), in other cases not. I specialize in neuro reactivation so I am aware of what he is referring to. I have worked with hundreds of knee cases. I have yet to see one of them that does not have a SERIOUS quad activation issue. While the hip and foot are very important, if the quad doesn't function correctly then there is no ability to load the leg in flexion (think wall sit) or in extension without "feeling" the knee- let alone having pain. Of course we must figure out exactly where and how the quad is failing to fire, which is once again, a brain problem more than a leg problem. The brain is failing to send the correct signals, and this system must be reprogrammed properly if we want not only full function, but to push past what were our previous limitations. I really hope this helps, and that your D1 career is going well!@@isaacvaha7659

I just got another MRI for a recent incident and am trying to make an appointment (on Monday) with one of the best in the area I live in.

  • @jonathanlau6964
    @jonathanlau6964 ปีที่แล้ว

    Agree about the approach with a diagnostic injection. Thing is I assume that these docs have tried that. I assume they do know that it is coming from the joint because of that (and not the hip or ankle or extra-articular as you alluded to). I also assume that in general the trainers and docs would doing all kinds of training to treat for PFS even if that isn't high on their working diagnosis or differential. I might be making assumptions about his medical team, but I have to assume that over 365 days they have looked at most things. The one thing that would worry me most would potentially be a diagnosis of CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). I would imagine if the Bulls did know that he had CRPS after multiple surgeries, they would not announce that as it would likely completely ruin his future trade value as it is notoriously difficult to treat and unpredictable at best in terms of outcome. Brandon Roy is a completely other story. I do not know the whole story, but it sounds like he had OA early. Whether it was because of his ACLs or chronic recurrent injuries and inappropriate return to sport and playing while unstable and injured, nobody will ever know. But nobody should be doing "microfracture" surgery in their late 20s in their knees in hopes that it allows them to return to one of the most athletic of sports. Microfracture is a stopgap at best for old people... not for young people. I loved Brandon Roy, but short of him having some horrible inflammatory arthropathy which would just be unlucky... someone mismanaged his career. Keep up the great work. Hope they figure out Lonzo, but I have a very very bad feeling about this.

    The question I have is how intense was his initial discomfort during the first injury with the bulls? From what I understand is that many players in the NBA are playing on meniscus pain and even tears. I suspect I injured my meniscus playing pickup ball over a decade ago and unfortunately I didn’t have access to the kind of healthcare as Ball, so I simply continued living my life with it… Long story short.. I wonder if it would be better to let the ball repair itself on its own and over time.

    If I were Lonzo use Advanced Icey Hot cream maybe even a stronger version of it on his knee. I think it lasts for 10 hours, use it around the clock because eventually the pain won't be there anymore. When you put Icey Hot on anything it feels like you put 10 lbs. of ice. It numbs the pain. I do a little exercise at first but gradually as the knee feels better ramp up the exercise a little bit.
