Message: [QUOTE="JazzNC, post: 2692574, member: 6034"] I think you're both right. Tendinitis is an inflammatory condition. It is often chronic. Surgery can correct an issue with tendinitis , but the definition of "successful" when calculating success rates is vague. For example, if the surgery benefits the player for three years is that defined as successful? Statistics can be inflated because no one wants to undergo surgery unless the surgery is considered worth it. The funding of such studies also makes reliability questionable. Furthermore, the surgery does not address the root cause of why the person developed tendinitis in the first place. So what does this mean for Sidibe? It means he may do quite well post surgery. It also means that he could develop the issue in another joint. Inflammation can be caused by a multitude of factors, including dietary factors, processed foods, etc. So unless you address these factors, it is possible to have a recurrence or have it show up someplace else. I hope like heck the surgery can be successful for him because I think he's exhibited a lot of talent, and we need his contributions. More info: Aggravating factors for tendinitis include hyper-acidity. Acidity can foster the development of tendinitis and/or slow the healing process. Acidic foods tend to bind with alkaline substances like calcium and magnesium in the body, at which point they are eliminated to prevent tissue irritation. In so doing, they remove from the bones and muscles some of the nutrients they need to stay healthy, making them more fragile and brittle. A diet that fosters the accumulation of uric acid includes large quantities of caffeine, meat, processed foods (white flour, white sugar, artificial colours and additives), animal fat, dairy products, eggs, citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, alcohol, soft drinks and salt. ***Someone from another country like Africa that is not used to the processed foods we consume here in the states can be more susceptible. That is what I'd be examining with Sidibe if I were his physician.*** [/QUOTE]
