Welcome to modern day journalism, where the journalist are afraid to ask coaches/politicians/etc tough questions for fear of losing access. Where's Walter Cronkite when you need him?

They can ask all the tough questions they like and do it every day. Guess what...Garrett will trot out his stock answer that it's all a process
and they are taking it day-to-day. How would you like to print that in your paper every day. That's what I thought!

I am no doctor but i have experience here since i have a bad back. If it is a trigger point injection which i doubt it won't last long i had this once and it did nothing. If it is cortizone or steroid shot it is suppossed to last 3 to 6 months ( depending what you do) and i believe you are only aloud to get so many of those in a one year period i think 3 someone correct me if i'm wrong. I have had close to 4 sets of these over 2 years 2 times they didn't last one month 1 time it lasted about 2 months 1 time they missed where it was suppossed to go and 2 weeks later i was back doing it again. I also ( forgot the procedure name ) had the nerves burnt by an injected chemical to block the pain it didn't work for me either. The danger is when they work you feel pretty good but are constantly doing more damage so when the shot wears off he will feel worse especially being in such a violent sport backs are tricky. hope this helps

You can have an anti-inflammatory shot directly into the muscle. This works much more effectively than pain pills. The idea is that it will cause the muscle to relax. And help get rid of the muscle memory of being tightened up.

My back issues were pretty bad so i may not have had one of those - Is that for a more minor injury ? good to know though

Well mine is pretty bad as well but they give that to you initially until they know something is really wrong or at least they did for me. PS no it didn't work because my issue wasn't muscular it was skeletal

It's not and I've been turned down for surgery because, I'm told, there isn't a good enough chance that it will help. I'm scared of surgery (too many horror stories) so I'm on a permanent pain management program.

Sorry to hear that -- Surprisingly i don't get nervous at all for surgery i just keep the mindset you go in get a IV move to a room say hello and thankyou to your OR staff, and next thing you know you are asleep. I do understand the fear about surgery though since it is a stressful event.

I have arthritis in my C7 vertebra. Fortunately it doesn't require surgery. I have a home traction unit I use every night. The thought of surgery doesn't bother me, except when dealing with the spine...and maybe the eyes.

I totally understand the concern when it is the spine one slip up and you may never walk again. All my issues are at L5 S1 and are spreading upward. I researched my surgeon like crazy to make sure i was confident in who would be working on me, and in addition i had surgery at HSS ( Hospital for Special Surgery). I really felt i was in the best hands so that probably helped for me on the mental side of it

Garrett said they expect Tapper back in practice this week. "In a few days" per his presser today.

I'm sure you're in excellent hands, but I wish you the very best of luck anyway!

Jason Garrett was asked specifically today if Charles Tapper would take part in team drills during practice and he answered, 'no, that's not anticipated.'
