.......from all activity til next Monday. He has tendonitis in his ankle due to the scar tissue, per Comcast post game telecast.

That was not f***ing cool... the title that is.

I agree. You need to change the title of this thread.

The title was giving me a heart attack.

I got nervous.

Agreed with Qwerty.

This was not totally unexpected I'd guess.

 

An operation that major, there had to be a bunch of scar tissue and some tendonitis should be expected.

 

Not surprising there are a few small setbacks.

 

I think we're looking at late May or June 1st.

I stated on an earlier topic that he should not have this scar tissue in the first place. While this news at first glance is no big deal. The more secondary problems that arise the more worried I get about this. This was potentially a career thretening injury to start with and the longer it drags on the complicated it could become.

 

Here's hoping the negative thoughts these continued problems bring are just the dark side creeping into my mind.

According to the Sox website, Frank got a cortisone injection today, too.

Change it, why? He IS shut down until Monday. I really didn't mean to cause any alarm. Am I missing something here?

good find I didn't see that. This is probably the reason he can't run not the scar tissue. One of the tendons on the inside of his foot the posterior tibilais tendon inserts into the bone that he fractures and had the bone graft. If the screws inserted there are irritatingthe tendon it would definitely cause problems with running.

When I first saw the title of the thread I immediately thought Frank might be shut down for the year. I'm paranoid like that..lol

As I sit here and think about this it's kind of confusing. The cortisone will decrease the inflammation but decreases the overall healing process. They are either very confident that the bone is healed and the injection won't effect it or very worried about the tendon. He has had plantar fasciitis and tendon problem in the foot before.

What date did he have the surgery on?

I believe it was last July but I'm not sure

 

On second thought that was the injury. I'm not sure when the surgery was performed

It was in like early October...I remember like last week being the 6 month anniversary of the surgery. They should have done this surgery as soon as he was hurt instead of waiting.

That's right I do remember an article about the 6 month anniversary not too long ago.

That's hindsight. They thought it would heal without the invasive surgery. They were wrong.

I think they would rather have seen how it healed before messing with it..

They did..I know...I'm using that 20/20 vision...I'm just mad...Frank's always been my favorite.

is there a doctor in the house(not crawdad, he's a qwack ; )?

That is usually the best way to handle these situations. The is still no guarantee that he will ever be able to play. They did the right thing.
