Ironically, I just came home from an appointment I had with my Orthopedic Surgeon as a follow up to an epidural injection a few weeks back. I have to believe Tyron has been dealing with a herniated disk for quite some time, I don't recall him having back surgery. This can be managed, but there is never a set timeframe for recovery.

If he is experiencing weakness in his leg(s), that is a critical red flag and surgery will be required if it persists. The epidural injection is a sign that he is being treated for nerve impingement and to get the swelling down. If he has a vertebra that has become destabilized, that is an entirely different condition and could require fusion surgery that is of a completely different level than disk surgery.

Let's hope this is one of the things he works through from time to time and he can get it to quiet down enough to resume his normal automobile collision-like lifestyle.

IDK after a while Tyron needs to start thinking about life after football. Taking shots so you can exert yourself beyond normal for 3 hours doesn't sound like the recipe for a healthy future.

does nothing. I have had them and it doesn't work. Shrugs, I keep working with the pain. I have 2 messed up discs and bone spurs growing off a couple. No pain, no gain.
Out of curiosity does your job entail several collisions that mimic car accidents every week?

I love with pain every day from multiple things and not a lot does help, but I'd never compare working thru my pain sitting at a desk to what OT in NFL deal with.

Having gone thru the epidural shots for over 3 years on both sides of my back I can say it is a mixed bag. Sometimes my pain increased afterwards. Never fully was pain free, until the cyst finally popped. Then was brand new. In my case I had a cyst hitting a nerve on the right side. Currently it is a disc on my left side also hitting a nerve when standing up too long. Just had surgery and it ain't fixed, I look normal until the pain makes me mortal. I sit or lay down and the pain goes away. I know tmi but I feel for Tyron. His back will always be an issue. I don't know exactly where his pain is coming from but to play football in that condition would be a lot to ask if a nerve is involved.
I loathe back pain and it's such a mixed bag of what works and does not work.

Unless you've dealt with it you'll never understand, similar to severe osteoarthritis.

Seems club is gonna use everything in their power to try to return Tyron to the playing field.

If backup Chuma was anything near reliable, we'd likely would've been sitting the vet Tyron down until playoff time.

Injection, treatment and rest.
But if Tyron cannot go, then it's either gonna be Chuma (again) or move Tyler out to LT,.. with Chuma or Bass in the middle.

Stay tuned, this could determine if we'll continue with Solari as OL coach, or make drastic changes with the OL coach role after the season.

Same for me. The injections became ineffective after about 4 of them.

Oof. This reminds me of when I had to get my ACDF nearly 4 years ago. Spinal Cord was compressed and caused cord signal change throughout body. That was likely the worst I’ve ever felt physically until I got the surgery. Glad I got the surgery done, of course.

Is this not something (surgery etc.) that Tyron could have gotten fixed in the past few off-seasons?
