Biological injections and Griffin Cannings elbow

[Jeff Fletcher]

FWIW, in the initial story I wrote on Friday, I said that PRP and stem-cell are both “biological” injections. I don’t know why the Angels phrased it that way. Today Canning said it was PRP.

In my 5 years of HS we never went over biological injections, so what is it exactly?

We didn't cover it in two years of nursing school, either.

I went to see my doctor this past week. He never mentioned knee surgery as an option.

I may never walk again.

What’s more interesting is that surgery was never presented as an option by any of the doctors. Are we to interpret that as there is no corrective surgery available that will allow him to continue his pitching career? 

Surgery is a last resort option

So how's Barbaro these days?

Thank you for clearing that up.

 “just some tissues rubbing against each other.”

 

Oh that should be easy to fix.

I noticed that. Your article did try to clarify it for them. It’s probably nothing but it is strange to me that they were intentionally vague in their presentation. “We will use a non-specific term that includes multiple possibilities instead of a more specific term that has been talked about a lot in recent years.” Why be vague? Again, probably nothing but just something I wonder about.

Probably they were trying to avoid the hot-button term “platelet rich plasma.” They also see how fans react. It was probably a miscalculation, though, because fans are going to freak out no matter what.

At least we can rest assured that our long history of injections has done well to avoid TJ surgery. That's why we never had to worry about surgery with Richards or with Ohtani.

@Jeff Fletcher was there an actual diagnosed medical term for his condition besides elbow joint soreness caused by tissues rubbing against each other.

Yep but what type of surgery is my question. He doesn’t need TJ according to some.

Just curious, has anyone mentioned Victor's mom yet?

She is an expert in biological injections.
