Ed Being Shut Down?

I was also told that if you stop early, your range of motion when you stop is your ceiling for the rest of your life. That didn't appeal to me so I was a PT maniac for those 18 months, and it sure paid off.

Yeah not continuing PT to completion and/or doing your home exercises that are prescribed is a big problem and makes it much more likely to have complications. Also not starting PT in a timely manner after surgery.

All things Ed will no doubt do as a college athlete.

Totally agree with this, and I think it's happening already. Ed has been looking to create/distribute more ever since he got hurt. Totally agree about the pull up. Feels like forever ago when he had that sick crossover/jab step/ pull up 3 against Wake last year. Man, Ed was absolute fire until he got hurt at Nova last year. Hasn't been the same since really. And then he gets hurt there again this year. If he comes back next year, Mack should have him stay in Cincy for the Nova game. ;-)

Thank you, Doctor.

My frozen shoulder was a direct consequence of the surgery.

Did you miss that day of Medical School?

I am a doctor of physical therapy.

Dont get defensive I am not saying you did anything wrong but what I am saying are there are many risk factors none of which (likely, a lot definitely not) Sumner has. He will be at very little risk for frozen shoulder.

Edit: It is defintiely not fun to have any surgery let alone surgery on any joint. Rehab will be painful and tedious. So I am not trying to down play it, just thought I'd throw that in there.
