Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 81 Elbow Bursitis

Chen Yu's words made Steve Lombardo, the Lakers team doctor present, also nervous.

In fact, he really wanted to ask how Chen Yu could tell from O'Neal's twisted toes that his big toe was insufficient in dorsiflexion without taking a film.

So when Kupchak next to him gave him a questioning look, Lombardo said: "Chen, I think insufficient back extension should not be a problem. Shaq's current activities are not restricted."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, judging from his current situation, of course there will be no restrictions. I just said that when the back extension is insufficient, it will put more pressure on the arch of the foot, and there will be enough It’s just a hidden danger of bow sprain.”

“And just because there is a hidden danger, it doesn’t mean there will be a problem.”

Chen Yu's words were so serious that Lombardo opened his mouth, unable to say anything else.

"Chen, am I serious?" At this time, O'Neal spoke.

Chen Yu smiled and shook his head: "How could it be? It's just ordinary inflammation. I will prescribe some medicine for you in a while. You can take it on time and you will be able to recover in about a week."

Still anti-inflammatory.

It's just that you can use a bronze-level curative effect on him.

In the past three days of free clinics, in the field of medicine, I have achieved two bronze-level curative effects.

There are still 11 days left before the All-Star Game on the 10th, which is completely enough time.

"That's... great." The corners of O'Neill's eyes twitched unnaturally, with an expression that meant he wanted to be happy but couldn't.

Next to him, Kupchak suddenly woke up after hearing that he could return in a week.

its not right.

This time, the Lakers' goal is not to let O'Neal play in the All-Star Game.

Then O'Neal's situation should be as serious as possible.

I should have followed what Chen Yu said just now, and then logically said that O'Neal needed a longer rest. Wouldn't this be a reason to miss the All-Star Game?

As a result, Chen Yu's words about how easy it was to sprain attracted attention, and he was so stunned that he didn't react.

This guy did it on purpose!
Kupchak looked at Chen Yu, and he suddenly felt that Chen Yu must have deliberately said that there was a hidden danger in the arch of the foot to scare him, and then took the opportunity to make a diagnosis that would only take a week to recover.

Kupchak was a little depressed. This young man is quite powerful.

Chen Yu didn't know what Kupchak was thinking, and glanced at O'Neal's left foot.

Really a hidden danger.

The foot is a balanced whole. When the function of one place is limited, the overall balance will be broken, and then the pressure in the relevant area will increase, causing problems to continue to occur.

So the best option is surgical correction.

But now the problem has not been exposed, and it is in the middle of the season, so surgery is not realistic.

"Shaq, pay attention to protecting your left foot. It will cause problems. For example, the risk of arch sprain will be greater." Chen Yu warned.

"I know." O'Neill was not very interested and glanced at Chen Yu with a resentful look: "Chen, your medical skills are really good."

"Thank you."

Chen Yu smiled in a formulaic manner, playing tricks on himself. He really thought he couldn't tell.

But I came with Stern’s mission.

I will not send a player with health problems to the court to play, but O'Neal is obviously fine, so what should I do?

The next step is to go through the process and let O'Neal take pictures and take blood tests.

Finally, prescribe the medicine and that's it.

There is no way O'Neal will miss this All-Star Game.

In fact, the task assigned by Stern has been completed. His bottom line is that the OK group ensures that one person can play in the All-Star Game.

At the same time, Lakers supernova Kobe Bryant also rushed to the hospital accompanied by his friend Rob Pelinka.

In addition to being friends, the two have a relationship.

Kobe's current agent is Arn Tellem, and Pelinka, the legal counsel of Tellem's agency, is slowly transforming into an agent.

Tellem has a company to manage and has many things to do, so Kobe's daily affairs are now in charge of Pelinka.

"Kobe, please pay attention later. Chen is the head of the league's health department. He has the final say on whether you can play or not," Pelinka reminded.

Kobe Bryant, who has a short beard and is dark and skinny, has a rebellious look on his face.

After all, he is young and has not yet passed his 23rd birthday.

"I know, I'm fine now, there's nothing wrong with me." Kobe patted his chest.

During this period of time, he was injured, but in Kobe's opinion, it was a minor injury. As long as he could play, it was not considered an injury.

Especially in this All-Star Game, Kobe must participate.

He has been selected to the All-Star twice and won the championship last year, but it is not enough. He wants more honors, including regular season MVP, finals MVP, and All-Star Game MVP.

He would never agree to missing the All-Star Game because of a minor injury.

Soon, the two arrived at the clinic.

Kupchak grimaced, O'Neal's side was broken, and Kobe was left.

Lombardo's diagnosis of O'Neal's big toe inflammation was an exaggeration, but inflammation is completely cured and being able to play are completely different concepts. He said he would need to rest for a month, but after the All-Star Game, there would be no problem.

As for Kobe, it was a real sprain of his left foot, strained shoulder muscles, and tight hip flexors. The most troublesome one was the sprained left foot. He is still playing with the injury now.

In this case, no matter what, I have to take a two-week rest and miss the All-Star Game.

This year, the Lakers want to defend the championship. O'Neal is important, and Kobe's state is equally important.

In comparison, a ridiculous All-Star Game is completely insignificant.

Standing in front of Chen Yu, especially when he felt Chen Yu looking at him sharply, Kobe felt inexplicably nervous.

Moreover, Chen Yu performed the surgery on Hardaway, his idol. This was no ordinary doctor.

Chen Yu waved to Kobe to sit down for the physical examination.

Left foot first.

"Does it hurt?" Chen Yu twisted Kobe's left foot and asked.

Kobe grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, his body tensed involuntarily, and then he shook his head.

Chen Yuxin said it’s strange that you don’t feel any pain.

But there's not much problem with his ankle.

The structure is good, there is some muscle damage and slight inflammation, but these are minor issues.

The same goes for shoulders and hip flexors, both minor muscle issues.

Physical therapy and rest can solve it.

But this elbow.

Chen Yu's eyes fell on Kobe's right elbow.

He grabbed Kobe's elbow, performed a pronation test, and then asked Kobe if it hurt.

"It doesn't hurt." Kobe still shook his head.

It's not like he's pretending this time.

Maybe it's because the pain is not that severe and it's tolerable.

But with all eyesight, Chen Yu has already seen it.

He has inflammation of the bursa in his elbow joint.

It shouldn't be acute. Acute injuries are caused by elbow sprains.

This situation is most likely caused by overexertion during exercise, such as taking too many shots in shooting training.

"Do you do a lot of daily shooting training?" Chen Yu asked casually.

Kobe was stunned for a moment. Didn't he sprain his ankle? Why did he ask about shooting?

He thought it might be a problem with his shoulder, so he nodded and said, "More."

Just a thousand times a day.

Chen Yu was silent. It was more than just a lot. It was probably not an ordinary amount.

"Go and check." Chen Yu stopped and motioned for Kobe to check.

Chen Yu added the elbow to the original area to be inspected.

When the test results came out, Kobe asked anxiously: "Dr. Chen, there is nothing wrong with my health. I feel fine and can still play."

Next to him, Kupchak frowned instantly.

Damn it, I want you to take a rest, so you'd better ask to play.

With a quick look to signal Kobe to shut up, Kupchak interjected: "Chen, is his left foot in trouble? During team training, he kept saying it hurts."

Kobe ignored Kupchak's look and retorted: "When did I say it hurt? I'm fine now."

Kupchak felt dizzy before his eyes, and almost couldn't control the urge to curse.

Chen Yu looked at the two of them and couldn't see anything fishy between them.

In that case, it was false before the media said that Kobe Bryant was seriously injured and could not play in the All-Star Game.

It should be that the Lakers management doesn't want him to play in the All-Star Game.

With a slight cough to attract their attention, Chen Yu said: "Kobe, your ankle, shoulder, and hip are all fine."

Kobe's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Then I can play in the All-Star Game?"

"But." Chen Yu changed his tone, pointed at Kobe's elbow and said, "Bursitis has appeared in your elbow. You should have felt a dull pain in your elbow recently."

Kobe froze for a moment.

Just because Chen Yu said that Kobe's problem was not big, Kupchak, who had a headache how to speak, and Lombardo were also suddenly stunned.

Elbow bursitis?
The two looked at Kobe's right elbow at the same time, with doubts on their faces.

They don't know this situation.

Especially Lombardo, he never heard Kobe say that his elbow hurt during daily training.

Chen Yu ignored the two of them and said to Kobe: "You have chronic bursitis now. This is a more troublesome problem. It should be related to your excessive training in daily life. Coupled with other injuries on your body, I think you need to Take two to three weeks off to work through these issues.”

They are all small injuries that can be sustained, but if the small injuries are ignored, they will eventually turn into major injuries.

Out of responsibility for his health, Chen Yu felt it was necessary to take a break.

It just so happens that my own player health management department is in charge of this.

"Two to three weeks?" Kobe's eyes widened.

As for Kupchak, his mood at this time was like riding a roller coaster. Just now he was afraid that Chen Yu would say that Kobe was fine and could play.

He quickly said: "Kobe, Chen is a medical expert. Just follow his diagnosis and rest for a while."

Even after an All-Star break, he missed only a few games for two to three weeks.

With the Lakers' current record, they won't be unable to make the playoffs.

Recuperate from injuries and defend the championship is the way to go.

"Then let's do it. I will report it to the alliance later." Chen Yu said no more.

At any rate, it ensured that a Western Conference vote champion could play, which was regarded as completing the task assigned by Stern.

Just as he was about to give Kobe a prescription, Kobe suddenly said: "No, I can't rest!"

He quickly stood up and rushed to Chen Yu: "Chen, I beg you not to let me rest. There is really nothing wrong with my health. Otherwise, I will rest for a week. At least you will let me play in the All-Star Game."

Kobe raised a finger, anxious.

When he came, Pelinka told him that whether he could play or not was not up to the team but Chen Yu.

Chen Yu frowned and looked at Kobe.

It's just an All-Star game, so it shouldn't be that important. It has to be played with injuries.

Kupchak said quickly: "Kobe, Chen is here on behalf of the league. He is the head of the player health department. He asked you to rest out of responsibility for your health. You should listen to him."

I didn’t want to, but Kobe didn’t listen at all.

"No." He retorted loudly: "I don't care so much, I have to play in the All-Star Game anyway, I have to play."

Those media always said that they won the championship last year because of O'Neal's thigh.

Of course, judging from the data, I am far behind O'Neal.

But Kobe is not convinced. This season, he has averaged 27 points per game, which is almost the same as O'Neal.

The OK combination not only has an O, but also a K.

So last year's championship also has its own share of credit.

And you won the MVP Grand Slam last year, so I will win it this year too.

Kobe would never accept missing such an opportunity because of a minor injury.

"Kobe, don't get excited." Pelinka was startled next to him and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Kobe didn't care about that, he threw Pelinka away, looked directly at Chen Yu and said: "Chen, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I am very grateful to you, but this All-Star Game is too important to me, and I can't allow it. I'm out, especially since I know I can play."

"Chen, even if I have a physical problem, you could help Hill reduce swelling 24 hours a day before, so why can't you cure me? I am a patient, and you should cure me."

Kobe yelled, his eyes full of unwillingness.

At this moment, Chen Yu seemed to see the shadow of another person in Kobe, the McArdle who was clamoring to go back and fight.

In fact, Chen Yu didn't quite understand this behavior at first.

But later, with the contact with Hill and Hardaway, especially after the experience of being on TV, Chen Yu gradually understood.

In some people's minds, honor is more important than physical health.

"Are you sure you want to play in the All-Star Game?" Chen Yu asked.

Kobe nodded vigorously, his expression more serious than ever: "Yes, even if I die on the court."

Chen Yu smiled.

"Don't sound so scary, it's not that serious." Okay, why are you talking about death?

But this kid is really a fighter. He must have been suffering from a lot of pain these days when he plays with injuries.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu turned to ask Kupchak: "How many games do you have until the All-Star Game?"

Kupchak was in great pain at this time. The two of them could have saved one, but he didn't expect Kobe's attitude.

And Kobe is not a rookie now, he is a star. His attitude cannot be taken lightly by the Lakers management. If there is a stalemate, it will hurt the entire team.

"Two games." Kupchak muttered.

Chen Yu nodded and looked at Kobe: "Then don't play these two games. I still have a lot of things to do in Phoenix. It's impossible to stay in Los Angeles. You can follow me to Phoenix. I can guarantee that you will be healthy and play in the All-Star Game." Race.”

If he doesn't deal with it himself, Kobe will have to rest for two to three weeks.

But if you deal with it by yourself and achieve therapeutic effects, a week is enough.

Since Kobe insists on playing, let him play.

Kobe was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.

"Then let's deal with it like this?" Chen Yu looked at Kupchak.

Kupchak was about to cry but could only nod helplessly.

Fortunately, Chen Yu will personally handle Kobe's situation. With Chen Yu's medical skills, he should be able to solve Kobe's problem.

It is also good for the Lakers to defend the championship this year.

After confirming the result and reporting it to the alliance, Chen Yu immediately returned to Phoenix.

It's just that when I went there, I was alone, and when I came back, there was another Kobe.

Accompanying him will be Pelinka, who will be responsible for Kobe's daily life in Phoenix.

But Chen Yu was prepared to hospitalize Kobe.

Then when I go to the hospital to see Hardaway every day, I can also deal with his problems.

Simply arrange for him to live with Hardaway. Isn't Hardaway your idol? It's just right.

A group of three people walked out of the airport.

It's a sunny day again.

In fact, there are very few days in Phoenix that are not sunny.

As soon as the warm sun shone, Kobe felt warm all over his body. Just as he was about to ask Chen Yu what to do next, there was a crash and a bunch of people rushed towards him.

There were people carrying cameras and video cameras, and they looked like reporters.

Kobe's expression changed and he hurriedly turned his face away, secretly cursing that these reporters were too well-informed and why did they catch up with Phoenix?

Pelinka also hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to stop reporters.

During this period of time, the media has not paid much attention to whether Kobe Bryant can play in the All-Star Game.

However, what the two of them didn't expect was that the reporters who rushed over suddenly surrounded Chen Yu.

Some reporters even shouted at the two of them to give way, squeezing them to the outside.

"What's going on?" Kobe was a little confused.

Aren’t these reporters here for you?
Especially since these reporters didn't even look at him, Kobe doubted his popularity for the first time.

No, that's not the case. I am one of the best in the United States.

"Chen, when is Ronnie going to have surgery?"

"What kind of surgery will Ronnie have this time? How long is it expected to take to recover?"

"Someone broke the news before that Ronnie's recovery was not ideal. Why was it not ideal? Was it the previous surgery that caused the problem?"

"Gérard Cy Young said in an interview with reporters that there were no problems with the surgery he had and that Ronnie did not need surgery at all. What do you think of his interview?"

"Chen, can Ronnie come back next season?"

In an instant, a large number of questions were thrown in front of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at the reporters with a headache and said loudly: "Sorry, I can't answer your questions now, please give way."

Chen Yu wanted to leave, but found that he couldn't leave at all.

There were so many reporters that there were three floors inside and three outside, and the building was completely blocked.

Chen Yu even suspected that reporters from all over Europe and Brazil had come to Phoenix.

Ronaldo's influence in world football is really great.

On the other side, Kobe listened and asked Pelinka with a strange expression: "Rob, who are these reporters talking about? Ronnie, who is that?"

Pelinka also looked confused and shook his head to express that he didn't know.

Ronnie, I didn’t hear that.
