Rodney Hood Injury

If Rodney Hood and the Jazz medical team don't know to hydrate after diarrhea I don't know what to think about that.
 
I pulled a calf muscle in a game and I thought someone had stabbed me with a knife. Not sure how this relates to the strain or what the threshhold is between a strain and a pull. Just saying it can be painful without being a serious injury.

Thats a players responsibility imo and shows a lack of preparation on Hoods behalf if hydration was a factor. Training staff cant be expected to bottle feed players

Do we really think a top medical staff in the league doesnt know hydration? Pls stop listening to yamers. He just says the most negative thing possible.

Remember when the jazz had the lowest injury rate in the league by FAR?
Well, there was a certain chiropractor that the jazz had for 26 years, that Stockton always mentions and praises.
The medical staff didn't like this guy, so they forced him out.
Since then the jazz have had the same injury rate as the rest of the league, if not worse.

I wonder if it might have been a calf strain in conjunction with a cramp. That would explain why he couldnt walk.

Could be. When it happens to me, it hurts like hell. I actually drink a bottle or two of Gatorade every day, which helps with the potassium - water alone doesn't resolve my problem. I can only hobble right after the calf relaxes. And it's pretty sore for a couple of days after. And that's just me as a non-athlete. I'm sure if it's the strain/cramp, it would take an athlete at least 1 week before he was recovered enough to play.


My advice to Rodney:
1. Take 2 Imodium at lunch and dinner on game days as a preventative measure.
2. Drink lots of Gatorade

Oy. Gatorade has very small amounts of potassium. Milk has far more.

I'd lay off the gatorade. That stuff isnt healthy unless you are really active.
