Isaiah Jones Injury updates

[SWC75]

This is why I don’t do things.

I have a friend who works out all the time and is always complaining of his injuries. I just smile.

 

[TexanMark]

Collarbone is 3 months.

As I found out to my chagrin 2 Septembers ago.

I thought sometimes a collarbone is healed in 6 weeks?

Yeah, me too.

Til I had my own.

Broke it MTBing (which was likely inevitable, and somewhat miraculous I hadn’t in the 3 decades prior.)

Anyway, at 6 weeks my Dr told me that if I wanted to ride, I could, but -
If I fell it would likely break again, and much worse.

Of course, not wearing full pads while riding, so maybe that gets a football player back out on the field sooner?
Having that extra support & protection?

IJ’s injury occurred sans pads.

Lots of MTB riders on here, nice. I’ve luckily escaped any major mtb injuries in 30 yrs but made up for it getting hit by a car on the road. But my friend broke her collarbone trying to ride off a 5ft drop she had no business trying. They had to put in a plate which her body then rejected, then had to re-break it…… A year plus later I think it eventually healed, this was years ago. I doubt this adds anything to isiah’s injury though but wanted to feel part of the old man, broken bone club

I might be the only one here injured actually playing Syracuse. Rugby...injury first game ever intercollegiate wise. Broke nose in two places. Had no clue what I was doing...good times. Went to the party afterwards and the ENT on Monday.

Precisely.

Throwing curve balls at a young age is even more problematic than throwing fast balls. My son in his youth/younger days played a lot of ball, travel, etc. He pitched, caught as well, along with playing short. The area of concern at such an age is the growth plate. One year he had to shut down ball all together due to his elbow pain, etc. in that (growth plate) area after seeing a specialist.

I recently took a continuing education class on youth sports injuries. I didn't realize that some growth plates in males don't close until 22 years old.

You broke it motor boating someone? How does that happen?

Usually my neck is sore after motorboating.

I'm guessing it started with, "there I was..." or "hold my beer."

 

[elimunelson]

I can confirm. Everything you said is right on. Shoulder dislocations deterred my football career.

Ended my basketball career. My brother was in hospital and I dislocated my shoulder playing hoops by myself (dork)

I put my arm in the pool to soothe it after it popped back in and didn’t tell my parents. No sling, or treatment (I was 15). The ligaments are destroyed now and my shoulder pops out 2x a year. Surgery is needed again but I decided golf > hoops in late 40s

Yup. My shoulder would dislocate more playing pick up hoops games ( when my arms were extended). I didn’t decide to do labrum surgery until my mid 30’s. Got both shoulders done. Haven’t popped out since.

Yeah, but as you get older things like bringing in the groceries becomes a major deal. LOL

Oh, that sucks! I'm so sorry for you. I've had my injuries, too, but luckily no real long-term issues (except being fat ...).

 

[GoCuse14]

My shoulder started to sub-lux in my last college wrestling match (was winning but lost via med forfeit, what a way to finish). I didn't follow along with PT the way that I should have. Then it started dislocating...I would say roughly 50 or so times through the years, playing sand vball, bball games, softball...but I could always get it back in. Until I couldn't. 3 ER visits later with the last time it came it out was in my sleep, and that was the worst pain ever.

Ended up with multiple shoulder capsule tears, 2 anterior Labral tears, they removed biceps tendon and tacked that to a bone...then gave me a boney block and 2 screws since I wore a divot in the shoulder bone. I was told I was done wrestling for good...although I did just start coaching HS here in Iowa this year.

Good times.

Since we're having a game of injury one- upsmanship, my professional Cornhole career was abruptly ended when I dislocated my head from the neck. For all you laymen out there, this is called a decapitation in medical terms. That's not something you can just pop back in like a shoulder. We aren't actually constructed like action figures. It took a team of very special Drs and several surgeries to reconnect my head to my neck, but the damage was done. To this day I get occasional neck and head pain. I'm still pretty sweet at Cornhole, but no Johnsonville pro circuit for me. You'd think it would be the traumatic memories of the incident, or the pain that keeps me up at night, but no. It's realizing how much sweet cornhole groupie love I missed out on. You can't put a price on that.

“Sweet cornhole groupie love” were not the words I expected to check off my Bingo card today -
but here we are.


And, now I’m kinda dreading what sorta Ads the algorithm has in store for me.

All depends on if surgery is required. I broke mine mountain biking in 93 at Green Lakes. Had surgery one year later because it never healed properly. Nearly punched the doc in the head when he was wiggling the two pieces of the bone to show me it wasn’t healed.

My son broke his as an 11-year old or so and had surgery the next week. 6 weeks or so he was technically okay, but not allowed contact. Took the plate out at 6 months or so if I’m remembering right. Wasn’t allowed contact again for awhile after that. Lost one whole season of AAU and rec hoops, plus school ball.

I broke my nose at a Texan Mark tailgate

 

[SU in Hershey]

Reading all these posts, I feel like Chief Brody in Jaws when Quint and Hooper were comparing there shark/other wounds…and I’ve got nothing to really contribute.

I believe I am grateful for that!

 

[TexanMark]

Yeah but that Rutgers fan looked worse

Still wasn't right. After all, we were playing Boston College that day

My wife told me my (emotional) growth plates never closed

I think you meant they closed prematurely. And premature anything, well, you know the rest (h/t JAB).

 

[GoSU96]

I’m still mentally 20.

Yeah what you said.
