Read this one....even noted it was accupuncture that fixed it. I wrote down the chiropractors name that did the accupuncture...guess who I am going to see in December when I'm in town.

Great article, thanks for the link. The description given of him in this article doesn't really illustrate the lazy, unmotivated Harrell that many view him as. I was a bit surprised to hear he's getting reps at NT, but that must mean he's very healthy if he's getting reps there in padded sessions. Big guys with bad backs won't hold up long on the nose. Very good news indeed.

Harrell clearly have a backiotomy. Having him healty (knock on wood) will go a long way towards a successful season. He and Jolly are very stout run stoppers to have as depth.

just hope he somehow plays 16 games

iF Harrell can start living up to his 1st round expectations we should have one hell of a D-Line this year

I've always been one on this forum to stay optimistic on Harrell. I felt badly for him when the "fans" booed his selection, I felt some shame when he gave his first interview (he vowed to earn the fans' admiration and said he understood the boos).

I have never entertained the thought he might be a lazy chump.

BUT: If it's not the biceps keeping him sidelined, it's the knee. If not the knee, the hip. Not the hip? Fine, how about another back injury?

The guy is jinxed regardless of his great character and work ethic. I'm having a problem staying optimistic.

Acupuncture??? Anybody else have any success with that???

I'm all ears... my back is in constant pain, has been for years.

I agree completely. (I think you missed an ankle injury in your litany! ) I take confort in the words of Aaron Kampman:

"In the end I think every individual player has to have it within themselves, and from what I know of Justin, he's a good young man," Aaron Kampman said. "And I think you'll see his best."

My brother is a Chiropractor down near Dallas and he uses acupuncture. I have never had him use it one me (or felt the need to).

He has used it on both my parents and they says it works (not sure in what way)

He made my sister cry though, but to be fair she seems to have a low threshold for pain, is somewhat dramatic and cries a lot

Back pain and golf don't mix well Wist.


After 2 back surgeries, I'd put the odds of Harrell having a notable NFL career at less than 5%. I think he's facing some ridiculously long odds, as back injuries can flare up at the drop of a hat.

I had tendonitis in my shoulder while playing golf and couldn't raise my arm above shoulder level without lots of pain. Shot 87 the first day of the event. I had acupunctune done the next morning and had full range of motion, I shot 67 and missed the cut.

Did he actually have the second back surgery or did he do the acupuncture instead?

He had a second surgery, he did the acupuncture in lieu of a 3rd surgery.

Harrell should be part of the rotation. May be forced to start due to the Raji situation.
