Aubrey Update “doesn’t look good right now”

how many times have we seen AG enter a game with UConn playing poorly and make a steal, a block or an offensive rebound and basket totally changing the momentum in UConn's favor..........the more games I watch, the more I realize how much UConn misses Aubrey Griffin..............:(
Was hoping Mir could have provided some of that.
 
Let's try it this way. Having read various posts re back injuries, as a longstanding back pain sufferer I posted a new thread on back pain. Using my own and other fellow sufferers including Shock Jock Howard Stern and Legal Zoom/OJ lawyer Robert Shapiro's experiences as related on Larry King, I related how our experiences were stress related, and the remarkable doctor John Sarno of the NYU Rusk institute who treated non-injury back pain by de-stressing patients. His cure was to get us to relax by whatever way works for us - Scotch, exercise, a nap, whatever works for us.

In Aubrey's case the medical team has been unable thus far to cure the back pains. I suggested addressing her possible stress-inducing issues, as it is not unreasonable to believe she is likely under a fair amount of stress. I hope her medical team keeps an open mind and checks this out this avenue! [ ]

:D So you are advocating Scotch for Aubrey back issues? Single malt or double malt?

Not sure how I slipped a disk, just was in a world of pain. I ruptured a disk when I bent over to pick up the laundry basket. Had to wait a month for the surgery. Both of these happened within a year of each other. I broke my back when my zero turn lawn mower flipped over on top of me when I ignored almost every warning sticker on the machine. :)
I can remember driving my mower on a slope that was decidedly too steep for it and leaning into the slope to kind of become a human Outrigger. I knew it was a decidedly bad idea at the time, but what the heck grass has got to get mowed right? I was fortunate not to be in the same situation as you. It was close a few times.
 
You are correct about the laundry basket, I didn't read the stickers. As far as the lawn mower, I read them all but chose to ignore them. My back still bothers me mostly due to old age, cold weather and having to lift small bales of hay to bring to the animals daily. My back does have two titanium rods attached to my back bone with six screws. Made it all better.

Had a similar experience. I removed that mattress warning tag and later that night wet the bed!
 
I had never heard the term core muscle injury until Randall Cobb recently needed surgery for it.
But looking up info. about core muscle injuries, it seems that there are all kinds of different muscles that can affect the back.
I can't help but wonder if she hurt or strained some of her core muscles while exercising or practicing while preparing for the season.
Does anyone have any info. about how it may have happened?

You are describing what happened to me...I was going up and down the steep slope. The front wheels actually left the ground a little on the trip up the slope right before my last trip trying to go back up. Didn't help that I didn't see the small drainage ditch I was crossing at the same moment.

Jeez, after reviewing my posts, it sure sounds like I am a dumb sh... :eek:

It happens. For me in order to avoid the wheelie phenomena, I drove across the slope, but leaning up in into it. It was dumb. I felt like I could manage it, but you always can until you can’t.

I have several friends who were back pain sufferers and were "cured" by reading Sarno's book after listening to Stern..........my cousin who was quite the skeptic called Sarno to discuss his ongoing back issues....,.....after asking like 50 questions Sarno said my cousin was so suspicious/negative that it would never work for him.......... 30 years later my cousin just had another pain killing shot in his back to no prevail while these guys are still perfectly fine
 
Back issues are no joke, it ended David Wright's career. I wouldn't mind seeing her take the season off and recover but this sounds really concerning and serious. Some unfortunately have to medically retire cause their back just can't play competitive sports anymore.

Exactly! And to Linart's observation of Aubrey moving stiffly during a huddle with the anxiety look on her face mirrored my own experience.
 
Are we pretend-doctors diagnosing someone’s affliction - and prognosis! - based on her facial expression?

Oh boy.
I have no idea what AG's back problem stems from, but Sarno's concepts are proven to work and involve zero medical treatments, simply a change in mind set...............it couldn't hurt to consider it for anybody who has back issues before going the more serious medical route involving injections and or surgery......

i think aubrey perhaps should consult Dr. Maryjane.

Husky Nan, no-one is being a pretend doctor. I for one am relating a personal experience which appears on the surface to be similar with Aubrey's. Given that her medical team has per Geno been unable to come up with solutions, what's the issue with offering a constructive suggestion? As for her facial expression, yes, and when combined with moving stiffly, it is very similar to my own experience. I'm for Aubrey getting better asap. What is the issue with offering a constructive suggestion not based on speculation but on real life experience?
 
I can remember driving my mower on a slope that was decidedly too steep for it and leaning into the slope to kind of become a human Outrigger.

So, what is the best way to mow a steep hill with a zero turn? Our back yard has such a section. So far, I go straight up & then do next pass going down, but the up travel is making me nervous. I do have ROPS but it’s usually down as I cut under trees too- I’ll put that up next year when doing that hill. Or, go diagonally with front slanted up all the time?
 
Also, my wife swears by Sarno’s book. It’s called “Healing back pain: the Mind-Body Connection”
 
Buy my book: "Healing The Common Cold: The Mind-Body Connection."
I present my 7 day plan of attitudinal exercises.
At the end of the treatment, 99% of readers state that they are cured.
If your cured after 7 days it probably wasn’t the common cold treatment or not

As someone who has had back issues I can say this: moving stiffly can mean she's feeling immediate pain & is trying to ease it by moving carefully OR she is anticipating pain (whether she actually experiences it or not) so she's moving carefully to avoid it. In the latter instance it really is a mind issue. Been there, done that. Time is the best cure IMO along with whatever medical treatment she may be receiving.
 
This has hung on long enough with no solution from the medical or training staffs. I am at the point that I am not planning on seeing her in a UCONN game this year

I could be mistaken and haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently, but every back doctor that I have met with only prescribed injections or surgery when there was a medical issue, not as a last resort or a book didn't to the job. But maybe I should have read the book while I was laying along my driveway with a broken back waiting for my wife to get home and call an ambulance. Maybe the Audible version. :):rolleyes:
BTW, when I broke my back, I was able to get up and walk for a while, until the steep hill, heat and humidity got the better of me.
 
Actually, Sarno proved that even those with various kinds of back issues found in x-rays, MRIs etc could still live pain free with his techniques..........that said I doubt he could help if you had a broken back....

 
Not familiar with Sarno at all but curious, it seems from the posts and a cursory look at the “10 lessons” attachment this mental stress treatment is confined to reducing back pain specifically? Seems odd, but I certainly don’t knock anything that has worked.
