00:00 /

Dr. T.O. Souryal and Dr. Brad Bellard have thoughts to share about L2M, referee standards, Maria Sharapova, the disconnect in communication between doctors and patients, the crumbling pedestal that the modern Olympics rests on, Quidditch, Dressage, and so much more. This is all just in the first hour.

The first caller had a knee injury a year ago, still has swelling and pain, and needs an MRI for a clear diagnosis. A former NFL player has had six surgeries on his right knee and is considering a knee replacement. He wants to know how long it could last and how it will impact his activity. Good questions!

In the second hour, we have a very special guest: award-winning sportswriter and NBC analyst Alan Abrahamsson. He calls in from LA to give an informed perspective on the Maria Sharapova tribunal decision, doping controversies, and the cloud that hangs over the Rio Olympics. Lots going on, lots to get to!

A special episode in tribute to the passing of Muhammad Ali, three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer and civil rights champion as well as a conscientious objector and active humanitarian. Listeners call in to share their recollections of and admiration for The Greatest, while Dr. Souryal fields listeners’ sports medicine questions, from all over the map! Like – what is Turf Toe? A Farrier has a knee problem, a very tall fourteen year old has more than growing pains, an older gent has neck pain that isn’t going away, a caller shares a knee replacement success story, and another has gout that affects his activity.

In the second hour, we keep to honoring the extraordinary life of Muhammad Ali, and also answering a mixed bag of queries. Dr. Souryal explains the next steps for a woman who hurt her back doing Cross Fit, a 75 year old man asks what to do about shoulder pain that wakes him up at night and there is a reflux issue. A 59 year old oil field worker also has a shoulder issue, another caller with RA and a knee problem wants to know what to do while waiting for his specialist appointment that is weeks away, and a caller wonders why his lower arms go to sleep while he sleeps. Post-back surgery, a man is left in excruciating pain- what to do? A basketball player wonders how to manage a knuckle injury, and still play and the show ends with a random weird shoulder problem. Yep- this episode may be a mélange, a gallimaufry, a medley, or goulash. Still, it is a good one!
