Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5188937, member: 12414"] His brother had a degenerative issue with I think his meniscus. Not sure but whatever it was it was clearly going to compromise his health at an early age so they (he, his family and the staff) decided to have him stop playing. Tendinitis can be chronic but as I understand it is the swelling of the tendon from overuse. I had my ACL repaired in my mid twenties they used a center piece/strip of my patellar tendon as the replacement ACL. They told me I would be susceptible to tendinitis for a few years and they were right. Good MD team surgeon for USC (South Carolina). I dealt with it during the winter when I was playing basketball three four times a week in different men’s leagues. But then it stopped. It was interesting as I also played softball a lot during the summer and playing left center I ran a lot but it never flared up. Usually this not a career ending type of injury. [/QUOTE]
