Diagnosis of Newmans heel problem

[Rack]

You can't possibly be the first person to realize this.

I would hope not.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I would think Jason had to move lateral alot too, and then backwards to make tackles.

It evens out, either way.

Thanks Doc

Jason went backwards to make a tackle? How did he do that?

"Terence Newman, pro football player, a man with a heel that's barely alive.​

Gentlemen, we can rebuild his heel.​

We have the technology.​

We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic football player.​

Terence Newman will be that player.​

Better than he was before.​

Better.​

Stronger.​

Faster!"​

99.9% of every post here with "Diagnosis" or "Analysis" in the title aren't a "Diagnosis" or "Analysis" of anything. They're simply a person's opinion.

Well, Marion Barber III did get a strawberry on his elbow against Houston. I'm not sure if he'll really be able to play against the Giants or not. He says he'll play... but I'm not so sure.

Here's what I found out about abrasions:

Abrasion: An abrasion or "excoriation" is a wearing away of the upper layer of skin as a result of applied friction force.

The first step in the care of cuts and scrapes is to stop the bleeding. Most wounds respond to gentle direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. Hold the pressure continuously for approximately 10-20 minutes. If this fails to stop the bleeding or if bleeding is rapid you should seek medical assistance.
The next step is to thoroughly clean the wound with soap and water. Remove any foreign material, such as dirt or bits of grass, that might be in the wound and which can lead to infection. You may use tweezers (clean them with alcohol first) to remove foreign material from the wound edges, but do not dig into the wound as this may push bacteria deeper into the wound. You may also gently scrub the wound with a washcloth to remove dirt and debris. Hydrogen peroxide and providone-iodine (Betadine) products may be used to clean the wound initially, but may inhibit wound healing if used long-term.
Cover the area with a bandage (such as gauze or a Band-Aid) to help prevent infection and dirt from getting in the wound. A first aid antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin or Neosporin can be applied to help prevent infection and keep the wound moist.
Continued care to the wound is also important. Three times a day, wash the area gently with soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage. Also, change the bandage immediately if it gets dirty or wet.



If you cannot control the bleeding from a cut, seek medical attention. Any cut that goes beyond the top layer of skin or is deep enough to see into might need stitches (sutures), and should be seen by a healthcare professional as soon as possible. Generally, the sooner sutures are put in, the lower the risk of infection. Ideally, wounds should be repaired within six hours of the injury.
People with suppressed immune systems (including diabetics, cancer patients on chemotherapy, people who take steroid medications, such as prednisone, or people with HIV) are more likely to develop a wound infection and should be seen by a healthcare professional.
Any wound that shows signs of infection should be seen by a healthcare professional (the "What are the signs of a wound infection" section).

If the wound begins to drain yellow or greenish fluid (pus), or if the skin around the wound becomes red, warm, swollen, or increasingly painful; a wound infection may be present and medical care should be sought. Any red streaking of the skin around the wound may indicate an infection in the system that drains fluid from the tissues, called the lymph system. This infection (lymphangitis) can be serious, especially if it is accompanied by a fever. Prompt medical care should be sought if streaking redness from a wound is noticed.

A puncture wound is caused by an object piercing the skin, creating a small hole. Some punctures can be very deep, depending on the source and cause.
Puncture wounds do not usually bleed much, however, treatment is necessary to prevent infection. A puncture wound can cause infection because it forces bacteria and debris deep into the tissue and the wound closes quickly forming an ideal place for bacteria to grow.
For example, if a nail penetrates deep into the foot, it can hit a bone and introduce bacteria into the bone. This risk is especially great if an object has gone through a pair of sneakers. The foam in sneakers can harbor a bacteria (Pseudomonas) that can lead to serious infection in the tissues.
First aid for puncture wounds includes cleaning the area thoroughly with soap and water. These wounds are very difficult to clean out. If the area is swollen, ice can be applied and the area punctured should be elevated. Apply antibiotic ointments (bacitracin or Polysporin) to prevent infection. Cover the wound with a bandage to keep out harmful bacteria and dirt.
Monitor at least daily (ideally three times a day) for signs of infection (the same signs as above in the cuts section). Change the bandage at least daily, or any time it becomes wet or dirty.
Additionally, people with suppressed immune systems or any particularly deep puncture wounds should be seen by a healthcare professional. If it is difficult to remove the puncturing object, it may have penetrated the bone and requires medical care.
Most puncture wounds do not become infected, but if redness, swelling or bleeding persists, see your healthcare professional.
Feet are a particular concern. Wear shoes to minimize the risk of a puncture wound from a nail or glass, especially if you have diabetes or loss of sensation in the feet for any reason.
Additional common causes of puncture wounds can include animal or human bites, or splinters from wood or other plant material, which carry a high risk of infection and should be treated by a physician.

Most people in the United States have been immunized against tetanus (lockjaw). If you have been immunized, you will need a booster shot if you have not had one within 10 years (if it is a very dirty wound or occurs in a tetanus prone area-you need a booster within five years). If you have never had a tetanus shot, or if your series is incomplete (fewer than three shots), you might need tetanus immunoglobulin, a medication that can prevent lockjaw.



So... what we basically know is this: If Barber isn't careful, he's going to either bleed to death or have a real good chance of getting either diabetes, HIV, Tetanus (lockjaw), cancer, or severe Infection.

We'll be lucky if Barber plays at all... much less in the season opener.

"There are reports in the literature of athletes undergoing spontaneous rupture of the plantar fascia after even single injections of their plantar fascia with corticosteroid.The conservative, biomechanical interventions outlined above should be implemented before considering injection therapy."

Sounds pleasant, eh?

 

[bbgun]

I got cranial fascitis just reading it.

...NOT as fasciitis, but as torn tissue, why can't self-dissoliving stitches be sewn in? I know a similar repair was suggested 2 years ago for McNabb's sports hernia, and suggestions were that McNabb could have the arthroscopic repair done in Switzerland, and be a repaired McNabb within 2 weeks. Could this be done with Newman's heel injury?

That was an excellent "Analysis" ... or was it a "Diagnosis"?

Thanks Doc

Jason went backwards to make a tackle? How did he do that?

Jason Taylor drops back in coverage occasionally.

I was analyzing the constant lies our coach spews forth in his injury reports.

Marion is clearly done for the year and Phillips won't admit it.
