  6. So he’s injury prone? True… All that muscle building probably did little flexibility training in addition to it.

    If your UCL tear can be treated without surgery, the recovery may last anywhere from several weeks to several months. It depends on the range of motion you’d like to achieve in the elbow. Your physician and physical therapist will work together to monitor your progress.

    If Tommy John Surgery is recommended, the rehabilitation can take nine months to a year, and sometimes longer. Your elbow will be placed in a hinged brace to gradually increase the range of motion until you can fully extend it. If you plan to return to throwing and compete, you will need physical therapy that is more rigorous to strengthen your elbow enough to handle the stress. Everyone recovers at a different speed, but the return to your sport should never be rushed. Too much stress on the graft before it has healed increases the risk of failure.

  13. Isn’t this the ligament pitchers have to get Tommy John surgery to repair? They’re usually out for a quite a while when this happens 🙁 . Although I guess shohei had the surgery this past year and was still able to bat

  20. Damn. Definitely starting to feel like we aren’t going see BBQ Dick play together this year
