[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 1031209, member: 13032"] Yeah I read about that too while I was rehabbing from knee replacement. Scar tissue is much more common after surgery, as Poker noted, but it can occur with repetitive soft tissue strains and tears as well. I would not be surprised if Watson has had that procedure. Deep, deep tissue massage under anesthesia is certainly done to break up scar tissue (the other option is surgery). I guess that would be one painful massage if awake. Poker's chart also shows that Watson has been sidelined 5 times for hamstring problems in 21, 22, and 23. Even if scar tissue isn't a problem, that's a troubling pattern. With his speed and acceleration, the muscles on the back of Watson's legs are really powerful and of the "fast twitch" variety, common to sprinters. Once a muscle strains, the surrounding muscle shortens to protect the strain, and that hurts. That's a spasm and we've probably all had it, mostly in the lower back, at one time. It's no fun, especially when the first course of treatment is ice. Same thing happened to Jones in the first Bears' game last year. These guys have legs that are too strong for their own good. But how do you tell these guys to slow down? There just isn't much that can be done to avoid re-injury, other than a lot of stretching and massage - which I'm sure they all do. Anyway, very frustrating. [/QUOTE]
