Gronk received injection in knee today
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...al-on-thursday
After missing practice Tuesday and getting in a limited practice on Wednesday, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski spent part of the day on Thursday at a local Boston hospital getting treatment on his right knee. According to a report from ESPN.com, he received an injection in that knee in an effort to get him healthy enough to suit up on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Per ESPN's report, head coach Bill Belichick was asked about his level of concern regarding Gronkowski and said, "We'll list the players after practice like we do every day." That sounds like it's just about par for the course for the man in the hood. (As of 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, they've not yet released an updated report. When they do, it'll be here.) Gronk first injured the knee back in Week 12 during a game against the Denver Broncos. He missed the following week's game against the Eagles before returning in Week 14 against the Texans and playing the final four games of the year. He had only 15 catches (with a 53.5 catch percentage) in those four games, though, an average of 3.75 per game. Prior to the injury, he'd averaged 5.2 catches a week and caught 62 percent of the passes thrown his way. Some of that could obviously be due to the fact that the Patriots were hemorrhaging other weapons and offensive linemen down the stretch of the season. They should be significantly healthier for the game against Kansas City, with both Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola expected to play and the offensive line rounding into better shape as well. Gronk is Tom Brady's No. 1 weapon in the passing game and should pose significant problems for the Chiefs' defense if he's able to go full speed. His matchup against Eric Berry, Ron Parker, and the K.C. linebackers should be one of the most interesting battles on the field when the Pats have the ball. The Chiefs finished the year second in Football Outsiders' DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, which adjusts performance for down, distance, and opponent) on passes to tight ends, allowing only 42.4 yards per game to players at the position. Still pretty vague on injection. cortizone? was it "drained" not necessarily "injection"? That't not nearly a big deal. Anyway, just passing along. |

Cortisone for sure. It's going to feel a lot better for him.

I recently had a steroid injection in my spine. Epidural/Fluroscope deal. Not exactly a pleasant experience, but it certainly took the edge off of my back injury. I hope the Chiefs win, but being in perpetual pain sucks and I wish the best for him. |

Had the very same injection about 9 hours ago. Local has worn off, waiting for the Kenalog to kick in.

It provided minimal relief for me. Shifted where I felt the nerve pain and now my numbness goes all the way down my leg |

I haven't tried them, but supposedly McKenzie exercises can help centralize the pain in your low back.
