Should Ty Warren have figured out sooner that he needed surgery?

[cmasspatsfan]

Maybe they did and maybe they didn't. There are a lot of what ifs but it sounds like this has been an ongoing problem since 2005 and the solution to the problem is surgery with an expected recovery time of 6 months. The time to make that decision would ideally be after the season is over not in August.

Its the type of injury that at first you think you may have pulled your groin or a leg muscle and the pain comes and goes and its not too bad at first. I have the same injury now going on four years and up to this year it wasnt a problem, now I cant even golf without severe pain so I'm assuming its the same with Ty and its gotten worse. Instead of trying to plug his way through he'll just get it taken care of.
Also its a procedure thats only been done in the last 11 years because there wasnt a way to fix it until someone invented a tool to do the procedure, not many doctors perfom the surgery although I wouldnt think Ty would have a problem finding one of the best to do it for him.
In short he probably thought he could muddle his way through another season but quickly found out the hip had gotten worse. Hobbling with this type of injury will absolutley also put added stress on your knee so once it gets to a cerrtain point its best to just get it done and alleviate any additional problems.

If you had this injury 20 years ago you either tried to play through the pain or if it was too bad you retired.

Was this missed somehow? didn't see it. (nipped from Jmt57's excellent positional thread)

Warren re-injured the hip in the third practice of the training camp. He expects a pretty decently long rehab.

Seem to me that the bottom line for Ty Warren is that it's in his interest to have surgery as early as possible as he needs to be 100% healthy for his contract season in 2011 (if there is one).

If that means sacrificing this season so be it - it's the business side of football and the need for players to act in their own best interest.

OK, thanks. Some of the last few posts are bringing it into focus. There WAS a new injury/exacerbation.

Also, obviously -- all football players deal with multiple injuries, which might make it harder to figure out what's going on with any particular one.

I'm guessing it has more to do with whether he'll be able to walk unaided in 10-15 years.

No joke

My neighbor played football (not pro) and was a Vietnam Navy pilot. Half the time he's crippled by a chronic hip injury. Had to give up golf, the ultimate geezer recreation and exercize, and is in lots of pain. Injuries can be tough to deal with.

 

[patchick]

Yes you did.

OK then, I'll try again.

Every bit of information we've been given says that Warren had a chronic condition he'd been monitoring and playing through for some time. He showed up for camp in good shape, but an injury bumped the hip condition from chronic to acute so he's having surgery.

So now he faces a long period of debilitation, pain and rehab. But as icing on the cake, he gets fans and media casting about for reasons why this is all his fault and brought about by his calculating selfishness. I'm baffled and a bit disturbed by this seeming eagerness to blame the injured player.

Any better?

sounds like BB wasn't happy Warren skipped the offseason conditioning program:

I don't know...maybe because Ty told us yesterday that the hip has been a problem since TC in 2005...and he's been laboring as a result for the last year and a half...and he thinks his groin and knee problems emanated from it???

Just sayin'... Ever wonder why some players take heavily discounted early extensions...it's not always because they're team players or idiots...sometimes it's because they already have reason to believe via nagging concern that they may not make it to the end of a rookie deal viable enough to cash in big time anyway.

Ty Warren: I made the right decision

As soon as BB spoke about this situation the other day, it was fairly obvious that BB was not happy about the way the situation worked out. I guess I wonder why Ty waited to have the surgery until the season began.

After reading the other posts, maybe it was not a concern at the end of last year. I still found BB's' reaction slightly curious.

 

[TheComeback]

It would've been nice if Ty had gotten the surgery earlier this year, which is what I suspect Reiss said Belichick is peaved about. But chances are Ty didn't realize that his hip had gotten worse until he started training camp.

I'm just glad he'll finally be 100% again next season, assuming there's football, that is.

He's probably not coming back. Sounds like a long term chronic thing.
