Suspicions Confirmed: Brady dealing with lateral epicondylitis, aka tennis elbow

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Think this needs its own thread. Note TB12 method has different way of dealing with this than most athletes would. I was wondering this morning why he isn’t wearing an elbow brace, and it’s because TB12 stuff...hope he is doing the right thing here because it would seem obvious (to most people) you’d want to at least stabilize the elbow during a game.

So this is probably really bad..? Hope we can get help from the Bears to let him sit vs the Goofins.

“Degenerative process” doesn’t sound good.

Can it get better with an off-season of rest and therapy or is it downhill from here?

Maybe Gisele could get some hgh sent to her for one reason or another...?

I'm 48 and it took 6 months to feel better and I still feel it. Needed to wear a band around my forearm so it could heal. Couldn't even grab a dish for crissakes.

Depending on how bad it is he might need surgery.

I think he just needs a nightly CBD facial in his hyperbaric chamber jammies

let me say the older you are the longer it takes to heal. In my twenties not doing the activity that caused the tennis elbow took about a week, now at 65 it took 4-5 months the last time it happened.

Why has he been playing tennis?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Knee jerk reaction is Tom should shoot himself up with whatever legal painkillers he can, tape/brace it for one more run, and call it a career.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Should not be a problem. He plays football, not tennis.

We all know how he feels about surgery these days.

That said, he has access to top tier medical care, so maybe it’ll get better faster than it would for we average joes.

He also has access to TB12.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I think this is pretty obvious... He's missed easy throws... Very inaccurate

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Isn't Guerrero supposed to help him with this kind of stuff?

Weakened grip is a frequent TE symptom. That would explain some of the errant throws.

 

[XLIX]

Well, we know how he's treating it...

Once sports-related tendonitis flares up, it usually hangs around for a while, because it's usually an overuse issue.

 

[Zuma]

cortisone shot

 

[cmasspatsfan]

He looks sharp so far tonight, maybe his TB12 is working.
