Out on a Limb.....

Yes......I said out on a limb I go......


Trufant will start the season off on the PUP list.....


Before all you people start bombarding me with comments on how I don't know shit....read on.


From a personal standpoint I know exactly what Marcus Trufant is going through right now. I am not talking about the stress of not knowing whether or not he is going to sit out for 6 games. I am talking about the pain and uneasy feeling of having a bulging/herniated disc in his back. I suffered through a bulging disc in my back that was causing my whole left leg to go numb. Not only did it go numb but there was a tremendous amount of pain swirling around my joints in that leg. It is because of my understanding of how painful the injury is that I am writing this post. I know there are many procedures and rehabilitation to help relieve that pressure but most don't work.

I tested out several of these un-proven methods and nothing worked. I tried spinal compression therapy, massage therapy, I went to the chiropractor, and none of these things worked. I really tried everything I could find as alternatives to surgery.

In the end, I had to have laser surgery on my back. If this disc issue for Trufant is anything like my experience he will start the season out on the PUP list. I all but guarantee that happening.

That is why I am going out on a LIMB here and saying; Trufant will miss 6 games of the regular season.

Have any of you experienced the same thing? What do you think?
