Weave Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 That will keep him out for awhile I imagine. Guy can't catch a break with the injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 If it's his first one he will need to be on blood thinners for three to six months. They will consider placing a filter in his inferior vena cava to prevent this one or any future clots from traveling to his lungs and causing a pulmonary embolism. Either way it appears his season is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it appears his season is over. Hell, his career may be as well though the Sabres may just keep him on LTIR until his contract runs out to see if he can make it back.

PASabreFan Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Blood clots in young athletes are curious. I'm not a doctor. Family history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Poor Cody... guy just can't seem to stay healthy anymore. :( I wonder how they even found it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Poor Cody... guy just can't seem to stay healthy anymore. :( I wonder how they even found it? He likely felt a lot of pinching and "stabbing" sensations in the area. My family has "factor five" which is a blood condition that causes a lot of clotting, so I have heard the many many signs and results of clotting.

biodork Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2015/01/11/sabres-mccormick-hospitalized-blood-clot-leg-indefinitely/ Sabres center Cody McCormick is in a Buffalo hospital with a blood clot in his leg, coach Ted Nolan said Sunday, and the 31-year-old will be out indefinitely. "McCormick had a situation where he felt something, the medical staff looked at him and he went to the hospital yesterday," Nolan said in First Niagara Center. "He has a blood clot in his calf muscle, so he’s at the hospital now. "We’re just kind of glad we caught it, and he’s getting medical care right now. ... I’m quite sure it’s somewhat serious if he’s still in the hospital." He likely felt a lot of pinching and "stabbing" sensations in the area. My family has "factor five" which is a blood condition that causes a lot of clotting, so I have heard the many many signs and results of clotting. Yikes, man.

Brawndo Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Blood clots in young athletes are curious. I'm not a doctor. Family history? Most likely, they should do genetic testing for conditions that cause clots Poor Cody... guy just can't seem to stay healthy anymore. :( I wonder how they even found it? Unilateral swelling, pain, tenderness in the affected leg are the common symptoms. Plus the Team Doctor is really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 DVT can happen from genetics, post surgery, chemo and trauma. See a lot of it in pregnancy actually. Unfortunately a nice dose of lovenox for now and then coumadin for a while =no contact hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather he stay and work on his offense, he's been invisible with the Sabres. Bring back Varone, he played like he was hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresFanInRochester Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I didn't expect doctors to chime in, but I am shocked no one else knew this... http://www.thedailyj...clots/17058371/ You get hit by a puck, in an unprotected area, like the back of a calf, you break blood vessels and the area bruises. That's the beginning of the process -- Deep Vein Thrombosis -- and an unfortunate side effect could be a clot. Be careful if you get a deep bruise. I am not trying to make everyone paranoid the next time they get a bruise, but if you take a 100mph puck or ball to an unprotected area of your body, monitor it closely. I learned of this from my lacrosse days. Being big and macho and stopping a lacrosse ball with minimal padding is not good for the body. I am still very surprised lacrosse goalies do not have more padding. Edited January 12, 2015 by SabresFanInRochester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
