Lack of pain baffles Jordy Nelson

Of the many cruelties ascribed to the torn anterior cruciate ligament that ended Jordy Nelson’s season perhaps the most difficult to acknowledge was the lack of searing pain.

Something's going on with this team. Bulaga had the same experience. Finished the entire drive with his busted out ACL. Are these people getting nutrition?

Shit just doesn't normally snap during non-contact, with no pain whatsoever. Are these ligaments just dissolving inside the joint? WTF

Jordy Nelson thought about walking off his torn ACL

“If it was a regular-season game, I felt like I would’ve walked it off and would’ve tried running on the sideline to see what would happen,” Nelson said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “Which, thankfully, it wasn’t. Because I could’ve done more damage. So that’s a blessing.”

Certainly there have been cases like that. I bet if you go back enough decades in the NFL, you would find players, maybe plenty of them, who just played on after an ACL injury. As was said in the other thread, there are degrees of tearing, etc. Nowadays, though, they can diagnose better, and they tend to be hyper-cautious. I wonder, if this had happened in the Super Bowl for example, or even the NFC championship, and he could run nearly full speed with virtually no pain, would they play him for the rest of the game? Or if it was the NFCC, would they postpone surgery until after the Super Bowl and play him in that? The Packers may be the worst (or best depending on your point of view) for being hypercautious, but I bet some teams would play the guy if the damage was already done and it wasn't gonna get any worse anyway.

It depends a lot on how tear happens, when I tore mine I also had a partial tear of the LCL, and even then I had no real pain, just a strange sensation of instability.
It was during a summer practice of basketball, we played soccer, and I continued to play after walking it off for a bit, even though I changed kicking leg from right to left, as it did not feel right.

I was misdiagnosed first time around, and when they finally got the MRI right, I was already back on the field playing basketball.
I was 14 when it happened, and I had no problems playing until i turned 20-21 due to the added weight over the years.
