ptatc Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) I wear a knee brace after my MCL injury. And its 100% so I dont hyperextend it because it hurts like a motherf***er when that happens. The is true for the MCL. The medial meniscus has a connection to the MCL so the injuries do frequently occur together. That really isn't much of a problem. It's the PCL that will cause the problems if it was stretched or torn too much. If it's healed he shouldn't have any more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) John Mullin on CTL: this was Urlacher's 3rd surgery since week 17. CSN Chicago's John "Moon" Mullin reports Bears MLB Brian Urlacher's recent left knee surgery to alleviate swelling and soreness was not the first of the offseason. Two sources confirm Urlacher underwent a "non-invasive" procedure shortly after the season finale. One source added that Urlacher required an additional surgery in the spring. There's no indication that any of the procedures were more serious than a scope, but it's obviously a concern that Urlacher isn't fully recovered after eight months. The Pro Bowler reiterated his belief Thursday that he will be on the field for the season opener.  Per Rotoworld   Bears have been doing alot of bulls***ting on this one.

I really wish you could look at my knees, my pain just below my kneecap is back in both knees even after rehab and I'm afraid to go back to the doc and once again see there is nothing they can see wrong.

RZZZA Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I don't know if its bull s***ting but it appears as if neither Brian nor the Bears count non-invasive procedures (like scopes) as surgeries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The way I look at it is this, the NFL has always been a league that withholds injury information. Belichek is famous for his injured list descriptions of players and whether they may or may not play. The Bears arent doing anything completely out of the ordinary. It sucks that Urlachers knee isnt healed, it really does, but the Bears could not force him to have a surgical procedure. Plus, from everything i have read it seems like what was done was pretty much par for the course, it was a sprained MCL, it wasnt like they had to go in and repair a MCL that was torn.

soxfan49 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 His last scope was nothing terrible. Essentially, if I'm reading correctly, he got a stitch or two put in. There was no cutting involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I get why it's kind of annoying that the Bears don't tell you everything about injuries (as if you had some Constitutional right to know or something) but I don't get why people are ANGRY about it. Why? What if they had told you up front, assuming they knew he wouldn't be healed by now? Then what? Would you feel better? Could you do anything about it? No. Just get over it. No point in s***ting your f***in pants about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's considered a minor, noninvasive type of surgery so it's possible that Urlacher did this through personal channels. Or, perhaps there was some miscommunication on behalf of Urlacher, the Bears, the sources, the reporter who broke the story and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he was trying to cover it up from the Bears by going overseas Ordonez style, and paying cash for a minor scope out of his own pocket, the Bears would receive those health care records.
