Nuff Said 4,938 Posted November 3, 2017 But Portugal? We do have doctors and dentists here. I must have missed Portugal''s tenure as a centre of medical excellence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted November 3, 2017 The Portuguese are very well equipped I can assure you, plus it is his home country and he probably feels more emotionally comfortable seeking the advice and treatment from his own countrymen/culture. As long as it gets sorted who cares where it gets sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know this is an offal attempt at an explanation but perhaps someone else has a better idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,066 Posted November 4, 2017 As a young player Steven Gerrard was plagued with injuries and he had his wisdom teeth removed (amongst other treatment) and it improved the situation.http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2001/02/02/gerrards-teething-problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted November 4, 2017 Perhaps he has a long-term family friend who''s a dentist he completely trusts, maybe he''s using the official Portuguese international team doctors, who knows.I''m sure there''s a very good reason as to why he''s been allowed to go there. As long as it solves his injury problems and gets him back to firing us into the play-offs I have no problem where he goes!Interesting to hear the potential links between his teeth and muscular problems though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 497 Posted November 4, 2017 Pity my old school dentist has passed on, his name was Butcher Hogan he stood about 4''11" in his socks, every schoolkid dreaded the sound of him dragging his footstool across the floor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wed only kept Howie.. 3 Posted November 4, 2017 yep... nerve damage can impact all over the body - it is after all an interconnected nervous system.. and I have personal experience of this...Couple of year ago I ruptured a disc in my lower back, which put pressure (via ejection of Nucleus Pulposus into the nerve channel) on my sciatic nerve in the right side - the obvious symptom of this was excruciating, and constant pain in my right calf/thigh (felt like a constant tearing/shredding sensation)... but i also got occasional pins and needles type feelings in my fingers and jaw.. All better now - yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorted nerve and muscle problems out for me. Some targeted remedial massage will help the muscles relax and gentle yoga is ideal for keeping everything in alignmemt and making sure nerves can recover over a period of time.

Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Nelson''s continued injury problems does make Webber''s proclamation that we didn''t need a third striker look pretty silly. Jerome is out of form and we have no alternative.Anyway, hope the Portuguese dentist sorts it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
