pettie4sox Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) As we all know, the lineup without PK is pretty much lifeless. Welcome back PK let's avoid the SWEEP! =\ Edited August 4, 2011 by pettie4sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Paul Konerko responded with a firm "no" when asked if his ailing left calf was feeling better. Konerko appears relegated to designated hitter duty, which paid off Sunday when he hit a solo home run and allowed him to jog slowly around the bases in the fourth inning. "It's not stopping me from making a good swing," Konerko said. "But anything other than that, if you see me moving more than a walk, it bothers me. That's all I can say." Konerko missed three games after getting hit by a pitch from the Red Sox's Andrew Miller on July 31, and the leg hasn't felt any better since returning as a DH on Thursday.

The Ginger Kid Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Padilla says it's nerve damage and more the knee than calf. They'll do anMRI later in the week if it doesn't improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Wonder if it might be best for PK to go on the DL to be ready for the stretch run. He'll still be able to take BP and keep his swing. Can Dayan play 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's not stopping me from making a good swing," Konerko said. Have you seen this Sox offense sans Konerko? No, it would not be best. The few times he has to trot around the bases won't hurt the man.

caulfield12 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Can you actually worsen a damaged nerve in your leg? Or is it one of those things that "if can handle the pain you can play through it" type of situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, but it's a good question. @ChuckGarfien Chuck Garfien Danks went to lunch today with Konerko, who's still in pain. Danks: "I said come on, Buddy. He couldn't really keep up."

ptatc Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) Can you actually worsen a damaged nerve in your leg? Or is it one of those things that "if can handle the pain you can play through it" type of situations? Yes you can. The most likely nerve that would be damaged is the common peroneal nerve which winds around the top part of the fibula. If you feel the outside of your knee it is the large bump you feel. It is very superficial and it very susceptible to compression injuries at this point. This nerve innervates all of the muscle which lift your foot. An injury here can cause "drop foot." It is difficult to run or even walk with this condition. He could hit because his foot is planted but couldn't control the foot once it's off the ground. The nerve is commonly injured in 2 ways. It can be hit directly which causes a neuropraxia and the nerve needs to heal. You need to not stretch it by keeping the knee and ankle from going to either end of range of motion. The other way is the inflammation from a bruise is compressing the nerve causing similar problems. To heal this you need to calm down the inflammation. This is usually done with meds and rest. It's possible they triend the meds and it wasn't helping as much as they wanted so they added more rest time. I'm not positive this is the nerve involved but it's the most likely. Regardless of the nerve involved, the treatment is usually the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
