JTaylor hurt again

[BoilerBiker]

exactly
we now have the official reports, and word from JT himself. no need to re-hash or muddy the preliminary things further.

as the popular lines go:
we did 'know more tomorrow', 'end of story', etc

This is a pretty familiar story to me. I coached track for 25+ years and we went through this several times. I always was on the kids to let us know if there was discomfort. They inevitably said "But it wasn't real painful and I really want to compete." It's unfortunately often the nature of the beast

has there been further updates or clarification to the reports from jconline & gbi ?

1) JT has said that there hasn't been any pain.
---"He admitted experiencing some pain over the summer and during Purdue's stint as Team USA in the World University Games. (The Boilermakers played eight games in 10 days.) However, Taylor said he didn't believe he was dealing with a truly significant injury until seeing the latest CT scan results. "

2) The staff put him in a boot after a checkup as a precautionary measure
3) The MRI was done at a later date and it showed a stress fracture.
---"Taylor stood in the hallway outside Cardinal Court on Friday with a heavy walking boot on his left ankle. He began wearing it Monday after a routine CT scan showed the stress fracture in his left ankle"

Brian said he experienced a little soreness during the WUG where they played a bazillion games in just a few days. Brian also said that there hadn’t been pain since and that the staff will be putting him in a boot as a precautionary measure. This was told to us before you guys started discussing it. Once the MRI results came out Brian said that he would be out a month. Brian is more plugged than anyone at Purdue. I’m just giving you the timeline as it was shared with us. The staff and JT all believed that it wasn’t as serious as it ended up being.

Thanks for the timeline explanation.

thanks.
I didn't realize there were multiple gbi articles, but after reading them in sequence coupled with baird's info, it makes more sense now.

your post originally described more of the first article, where only forman reported no pain, no CT scan (rather than MRI) mentioned, etc. that is where i was confused

2 days later, the second article had info directly from JT rather than thru forman. this correlated with bairds jc article as well. as another poster mentioned, aspects like hipaa may have played a role also

Love reading the posts from TReed. I so look forward to them! She shares what she knows based on what she is experiencing every day where the rest of us mostly share our opinions. I appreciate that! Many others who responded to this post had excellent points as well.

In a previous post in another thread I mentioned that JT's foot issues are not going away. I followed JT in high school and his injuries were well publicized. I've shared his injury history with my wife who is a renowned foot specialist (Podiatrist) in the state we live in. She told me that as long as he continues to play, he will be at risk. The stress fracture he has now will only heal with rest (not surgery), but this type of fracture is known to be chronic in athletes. Some are prone to experience this continually throughout their athletic career. We will see JT on the court again soon but, as much as it pains me to say it, his foot injuries aren't going away.

Looks like Wolegib was on this one. It did seem strange that coaches would talk about the health of an athlete with someone other than the athlete or their guardian. HIPAA law is pretty strict about such things.

yeah..careful choice of wording would be important and "that" could lead to misunderstandings as well...

For sure.

All of our management team sits through an hour long presentation once a year about HIPAA and what can and can't be shared/talked about with employees, spouses, co-workers etc.....It isn't something to take lightly. There are real legal ramifications for breaking that law. I'm not professing to being a legal expert on how it applies in the college sports setting. But I'd be really surprised if actual health information is shared freely from coaches/trainers to people that aren't authorized to have such information.

I can never remember voting for it. Or knowing other were about to vote for it...

awesome post. I've had plantar fasciitis for 33 years and without orthotics, I'm in constant pain. With orthotics, it's manageable pain. 3 years ago I tried the surgery on 1 foot and it helped a little but not as advertised. JT and many other athletes will end up where I'm at when they are 40+; juggling pain meds, constant icing, electric stimulation treatments, and a battle with continuous chronic pain. I know it all started with 2-3 hours every night at the co-rec playing b-ball at Purdue. Im sure many on this board we're there as well. I feel for JT and would like to see him succeed at Purdue. We definitely need him as a rim protector. However, a future life of pain may not be worth it. Once he is gone from Purdue, all the great doctors the academic program provides will be gone. The big picture of life / health is way more important than 1-2 seasons of b-ball...
