walzav29 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Has anyone heard of ligaments and tendons healing on their own? Name the last torn ACL that healed with rest? I am no doctor, so I don't know. I'm just hoping that after 2 games Palmer has to go down for the season. Someone tell me it will be alright.

redsbengalsbucks Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I dont know either, but he did have two Dr's tell him surgery was not needed with a good rehab period. So hopefully they were correct and he is back to 100% all season long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 It's my understanding that ligaments heal very slowly because they are always under tension and usually don't get enough true rest to start to actually heal. I also think that a full tear does require surgery every time... but that a partial tear can in fact heal on it's own if given enough time and proper circumstances. I'm not 100% on that... but I had surgery on my knee several years ago for several damaged ligaments. I remember the doctor telling me that he had to replace the ACL, but that some others were optional because technically they could heal.

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm thinking that Walsav had a brain cramp with his boolean logic there. I'm pretty sure he's not hexing Carson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the doctor telling me that he had to replace the ACL, but that some others were optional because technically they could heal.Yep, I injured my knee badly playing Rugby. I was young enough that the doc said he could operate on the MCL and leave the ACL alone. The real bastard was having to have the kneecap shaved though. Poor blood supply also slows the healing process down horribly.Having said that, with all the expert and focused medical attention he receives daily as a pro athlete he'll be in a better position to heal up more quickly than would otherwise be the case. I'll take a Carson at 80%over a Jordan at 100% anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone tell me it will be alright.I know it was probably a slip of wording, but if that happens, NO it won't be alright.Then again, if someone considers 2-14 alright, then maybe it will.

kevnz Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 The elbow is something to keep an eye on, but I think if the team or Carson thought he needed to have the surgery he would have had it. Damn I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Holy Smokes! I didn't meant that. What I meant was I hope that after 2 games his elbow doesn't act up and cause him to miss time. See? I'm rattled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Tracy Jones and Dave Lapham on 700WLW said today that a certain doctor said Palmer's elbow will not make it through their season. I do not believe ligaments heal on their own and what doctor were they talking about? Should he have had Tommy John surgery?Any one know anything?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgi Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 It is okay. With Benson, Scott, Leonard, and Fui V (and hopefully w/out Jeremi Johnson), we are establishing the running game....at least, I hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
