I've had a bad back since a cycling accident in 1973. I've re-injured it again and again. Finally had surgery to partially remove a disk 20 years ago No fusion. But I also know how to treat it. Ice, heat, back exercises, more ice, heat. I have had access to muscle relaxers and pain killers for over 30 years. Not an abuser.....won't take 2 pain killers closer than 7 days apart. And usually by then, the back is already better. Every year I toss the pills (usually between 15 and 20) at the doctors office and he gives me another batch. Back issues suck but they are treatable. I wouldn't want to get tackled by Aaron Donald.........

Sounds like the spine specialist is just the guy working on his rehab plan with Reggie. While I wasn't gonna say Stafford's back was nothing to sneeze at when this started I'm liable to say there's nothing to see here right now. This guys role is firmly established and I don't think it's more than that.

Just illegal to dance in the pocket. Hoedowns and school dances, fine.
And yet all your naughty parts were engorged and tingly.

I'll get more nervous if he's not doing some modified work by the Hall of Fame game...

i hope the training staff has the problem under control...
i have worked construction for going on 50 years, and my back was a mess through my 20's and 30's...
i had to change the way i worked (framer/ carpenter/ concrete etc) if i do a lot of bending down without bending my knees, my back will stiffen up in no time... and sciatica pain will come on... not to mention the inevitable pinched nerve..
i just deal with it, and avoid the bending over as much as possible, and i go home feeling fine...
i can't say what matthew's issue is, but i would bet his flare-up is caused by some repetitive motion he needs to curtail, if possible...
here's to a speedy recovery...

I won't be doom and gloom, but McVay cited the elbow injury as a big deal after the fact in 2022. And thus far it feels similar, only now we have a viable backup QB
