Official: DMac has Sports Hernia

[4and26]

Duce played all but 2 games with one in 1998.

I have to agree with IGY on this. If he can get through the next month or so with it, get the surgery when the games are weaker. Be ready for the playoffs.

Agreed but everyone reacts to surgery different.    Mid-Season surgery if he's slow to recover could really backfire...

My thoughts exactly. If McMahon is QBing our playoff run, its one and done.

"Living With a Hernia"
written by 'Weird Al' Yankovic
Parody of "Living in America" by James Brown

Help me out! Dig!
All I do is grunt and groan
Hurts me to walk anywhere
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
Doctor says there ain't nothin' to discuss
He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss

Living with a hernia
All the time, such aggravation
Living with a hernia
Gonna be my ruination
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation
Feel so old

Too much bad pain
Good gawd, drives me insane
Can't run, barely crawl
Got a bulge in my intestinal wall
Walk real funny, bless my soul
Can't play tennis and it's hard to bowl
You can't even do the splits now... Say it!
Better call it quits now
Now I'm sick of all this dancin' anyhow

Living with a hernia
Hurts me bad in a tender location
Living with a hernia
Had enough humiliation
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

I live with a hernia
Can't get up, can't bend over
Now I live with a hernia
Wait a minute...
You may not be familiar with the common types
Of hernias that you could get
So just settle down, let me clue you in
There's incomplete
Epigastric
Bladder
Strangulated
Lumbar hernia
Richter's hernia
Obstructed
Inguinal and Direct

Living with a hernia...Rupture!
I said it's causin' me such irritation
Living with a hernia
Have to have my medication
Living with a hernia
I feel bad!

couple meaningful items i found...perhaps he should get it right away

In patients whose symptoms strongly suggest a sports hernia as the sole pathology, particularly in the professional athlete, surgery should be considered at an early stage.

Specific rehabilitation that avoids sudden, sharp movements should enable athletes to return to sports participation within 6 to 8 weeks of surgery. All aspects of pelvic flexibility, strength, and stability should be addressed throughout this period. Athletes should begin isometric abdominal and adductor exercises on the first day after surgery, increasing the number of sets and repetitions during the first week and then progressing to a concentric and eccentric strengthening program. They should begin walking during the first week after surgery and progress to jogging by day 10. Straight-line sprinting is encouraged from day 21, and the subsequent introduction of sport-specific exercises should enable a full return to sport after 6 to 8 weeks of rehabilitation. Overlapping conditions should also be addressed, and coexisting osteitis pubis or adductor tendonopathy may indicate a more gradual return to athletic activity

if reid would actually adjust the offense (RUN MORE) to compensate for #5's injury, i wouldn't be so concerned...................but he won't.

[ice grillin you]

oh and this beaut...

Pain Characteristics
Typically insidious onset
Usually localized to the conjoined tendon and inguinal canal
May radiate to the adductor region and testicles

They will turn the dogs after DMac now as he's not a running threat

[ice grillin you]

which is why everyone is saying its important to run...not just the run itself but the fact that the run sets up the play action which in turn slows the 'dawgs'

[hunt]

i read that the #1 cause of sports hernia is artis hicks.

[fansince61]

In college Andrews was a devaststing run blocker...time to kick it up

[dpierce]

oh yeah, might help to establish a run game with Westy and Gordon.

BLASPHEMY!!

[rjs246]

Activate Moats and lets see what Gordon, Moats and Westbrook can do. Now THAT would f'ing kick ass.

Reid won't rely on the running game unless McNabb stinks it up for 2 or 3 games straight.

Reid won't rely on the running game unless McNabb stinks it up for 2 or 3 games straight.

And even then, he'll only drop it down to 60/40 passing.
