Adell injury: left hamstring strain and right ankle sprain

So according to every site it says that the grade 2 ankle sprain's recovery time is 4-6 weeks, whereas the grade 1 hamstring (the most minor of the 3) can take just a few days to heal. 

So why 10-12 weeks for recovery time? I don't get it. 

@Dochalo, thoughts?

I suspect Doc will have a more perfect answer but medical websites generally speak to the average person and Jo Adell is a professional athlete that needs to not only lift weights and stretch that hamstring on a regular basis but he needs to run at sprint speeds. When you combine that with making sure he doesn't pull it again (risk mitigation) and his value to the club they will take it very easy and approach it methodically. Thus 10-12 weeks.

Please don't take this the wrong way Chuck but this is why consulting a medical expert versus looking up the ailment online makes a difference. In fact consulting any expert is preferable to just winging it on the Internet or taking the advice of friends, associates, etc.

If he misses more than 6-8 weeks... thoughts and prayers to the Eeyore's here, on Twitter., and on Halos Heaven

Question, why do those posts piss you off so much?   This is the best Halos prospect since Mike Trout, after all.

Injuries throughout baseball seem to be happening more than ever over the past few years.

Reason?   Doc?

Outside of pitching, are they really happening more often than in the past?

Pitching can easily be explained by the emphasis on throwing harder and throwing "junk" pitches that put more stress on the arm, i.e., splitters, sliders, curves, etc.

The tweet said grade 1+ on the hammy and 2+ on the ankle.  Seems like they mean at best, these are grade 1-2, at worst they are grade 2-3. 

Grade 2 hamstring strains may or may not involve a tear, and those can end up being more like 8 week ordeals.

Grade 3 ankle sprains involve a tear pretty frequently, which takes 8-10 weeks to overcome.

Just a shot int he dark here, but I'm guessing both were a little worse than simple grade 1/2 ailments, but not as bad as something that may require surgery and linger.  So 8-10 weeks seems about right, but then he's gotta get back up to speed, which is another two weeks, so 10-12 seems about right, if that is indeed the prognosis.

Lol. You've gotta be kidding.

Posts dont upset me or piss me off.

Sucks for Adell. Missed a lot of time last year, too. Hope he bounces back quickly.

Crutches suck, he should get a Kneerover.

 

Had one of those when I had Lisfranc surgery. Both times.

I wonder if its because its to both legs. Hard to rehab both legs at the same time unless you are completely allowing the inflammation and damage to repair.

Makes sense. 

I know from experience and from other stories that a lot of injuries occur when having just one leg injury to the other healthy leg during the healing process.

Hey Jo, don't you know you're supposed to wait until you're with the big team to get hurt? 

[yvangelfan]

Well that was quick

I thought our guys looked fatigued at the end of last season compared to other teams.

we won 5 of our last 6 games, including 2 by walk-off.

also, how can you tell when a team looks fatigued? they spend 90% of their time standing in one place or sitting down

They didn't have that spark. I have a special sensor that can tell when they're just going thru the motions. You don't have one, Lou?

Achilles surgery for me. Eight weeks the right foot never touched ground. I actually liked using the kneerover.

Just a bit ago, Mota said it's possible he will not see game action until June.

[Lou]

yeah, that's much different than 10-12 weeks 

[Chuck]

 

[Angelsjunky]

Get him in games. Players are such pussies these days. Do you think Enos Slaughter or Ty Cobb would have needed "10-12 weeks" from a twisted ankle and tweaked hamstring?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before you get all upset, I'm Facking with you.

Those guys weren't part of a union.
