Wow. Reading these posts, I've sure had an easy life.

All I had was a dislocated wrist and some very minor knee injuries.

Two left knee surgeries, three left shoulder surgeries and two right hip surgeries and a replacement. Three fractures and stitches everywhere. One more hand surgery. High school and college ball was rough on me. Lol

Your a lucky guy. A lot Of the injuries are very manageable when one is young but in later years they become more of an issue....its a blessing

I'm recovering from a torn labrum. Had surgery in August.

Did my first push-up in over 2 years a month ago.

What I am noticing now is that all of those breaks and fractures hurt more now. Not like OUCH pain but just a dull lingering annoyance. Also gets very stiff up here in Canada lol

Agree. Can’t imagine what it will be like 10 years from now. I just keep seeing visions of some of the ex NFL guys in their 40’s walking like their in their 70’s...no offense to GP or CC

None. I don't get hurt and I don't get sick. It's a matter of policy.

How much does your company pay and where is the personnel department?

Torn ACL plus 2 meniscus scopes. Most likely a couple of concussions.

A severed Achilles tendon, hamstring pull, groin pull and strained arch, over several years.
Also, a possible concussion when a DE pounded my helmet. I saw stars and heard bells.

Also I had a spiral break of my right leg, (motorcycle spill) got me a titanium tubular implant.

*Torn ACL - in 7th grade, didn't know what it was. Long story short I didn't get my speed back until my Senior year.

*Plantar fasciitis - hurt like a mofo, 10th grade

*Hamstring strains

*Groin strain - Senior year HS, played through it.

Bruised wrist - Only college injury, needed soft cast.

Guillain Barre' Syndrome, back then they called it Paralysis instead of Syndrome.

They did not know a lot about it when I had it. So it still effects me to this day.
However it never stopped me from doing most of what I wanted to do. I still played a lot of ball, just not competitive.
Baseball, Football, Basketball. I just was not as fast as what I used to be.

Also had some operations on my Achilles Tendons from it.

So I perfectly understand why Travis decided to retire.
