It is why it is so damn easy to get hooked on that shit

I EASILY could have but after a few of those injections I read up on the history of that painkiller

I also recognized that I really really really liked it

Just because I am a stubborn arseh*le who kinda was well on my way to getting addicted and didn’t want to, I stopped it

But am telling you that shit is A1 good
 
Still would not ordinarily inject it in your chest. In fact that would be out of the ordinary

My hip is nowhere near my shoulder

My shoulder was the issue—within minutes of injecting that sh*t my shoulder felt great and I felt like I could run thru a wall.

5 hours later, however...

Pain and a lot of it lol

I've heard of players getting injections at the direct source of the injury in afl. Can't say I'm totally familiar with the procedure coz I've never had one myself but ex players say all the time they have had jabs in the ankle for a swollen ankles etc.
 
Yeah, not buying it lol

There is NO reason to give powerful painkillers (and trust me one like torodal is REALLY good sh*t) anywhere near his lungs.

Not buying it

Not true. Likely for an intercostal nerve block, which is for local anaesthetic in the area.

Toradol (ketorolac) is an anti-inflammatory and would generally go through the whole system, hence can be injected into any muscle, often buttock as you said.

Maybe so—just was not my experience at all

I asked about that at the time—doc said it was not necessary to inject into my shoulder and to avoid making the shoulder worse he wasn’t sticking a needle in it.

Said—don’t worry your shoulder is gonna feel fine

He wasn’t lying

Yup correct

Glad to hear it worked for you :)

But there is a difference between local injections (usually steroid and/or local anaesthetic) and systemic medications (whether they be oral, IV, or intramuscular).

Worked to well—lol

My understanding is steroids are illegal in the NFL

I know that is why I didn’t get steriods at the shoulder—and instead got toradol

Can pass the pee tests

Yup fair enough. Not sure about the rule with locally injected steroids, as opposed to doping with IV steroids but you could be right.

Not sure of the specifics with Tyrod. But my assumption would be that it was an acute chest wall injury for which they were trying a local anaesthetic injection to get him through the game.

Yes and I agree he must have had a chest injury they were trying to get him thru the game with.

But seems to me an anti inflammatory would be the more likely candidate to do so

But it is fair that I am well out of competitive sports long enough that maybe they have new techniques

If he REALLY did get injured by a doc botching that local injection up he should sue the ever living shit out of the team and have that docs license

Definitely not.
No procedure is without risk. And pneumothorax is a common complication of the procedure (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11535906/) so he would have been aware of it. He could still sue the team though, but no chance the doctor would be in any trouble assuming they were trained to do the procedure and this was an unfortunate outcome.

If you punctured a lung and cracked ribs

I got no problem arguing medical malpractice
 
Could try but don't think it would work :)

California protections on tort recoveries are not like protections in say...ohhh Kentucky

;)
