You wouldn't, injuries are listed but aches and pains are never covered.

Scar tissue isn't the only issue that can make shoulders troublesome. I have tendonitis in both rotator cuffs and the slightest inflammation causes impingement and will prevent you from getting much sleep until it subsides, especially if you are not a back sleeper. Its a dull constant ache that has nothing to clean out or repair, if you lift your arm too high the dull pain can be sharp.

I found two things greatly effected my tendonitis, pressure changes due to weather and flying because of the pressure changes involved there. In my 5 years of traveling back and forth to Africa, I generally ate 12-16 ibuprofen a day.

That's the way the offense is designed. You can be successful with this offense if your QB has a high enough completion percentage.

Oh, I know aches and pains. I had basically the same injury as Brees and the surgeon, team surgeon for Louisiana Tech at the time) said if I was younger and was dependent upon it for my living (he mentioned pitcher or QB) he would have done surgery. I also had basically the equivalent surgery done on my knee 25 years ago and have had no issues with it ever since. Everyone heals differently. It is very realistic that Brees has no lingering pain from the shoulder. Look how quickly he recovered from the thumb surgery. He clearly has the metabolism required for recovery.

True, if our defense wasn't giving it up on the back-end like Miss Lincoln High...

You are focused on the injury and it doesn't always take injury to cause pain, discomfort, or a reduction in performance.

I have absolutely abused my body most of my life, baseball (10 years of catcher), football, military.. Knees and hips are fine. My Mother played zero sports and has had a knee and hip replaced.

Age is a b1tch.

Exactly, studs don’t complain they just do it. I wasn’t going to get in a peeing contest with AG over what u just reiterated. Brees arm is sore, it’s sour but it’s working . Beat Tampa’s arse drew.
