Ashley Brignac Shoulder

[Turbine]

I had surgery on Wednesday. I was thinking about it long before I saw a specialist I even told a few friends. Hey surgery is not a 4 letter word, sometimes it is preferable to rehab.

I had a ROOT CANAL true I did think of trying to rehab my #3 tooth (a molar) but decided to go the surgery route in stead, rehab is such an iffy proposition you know. I hope I don't regret my decision.

The fact that some think Ashley Brignac can't speak for herself or that her comments should be off the record gives me a whole other tooth ache. I think I'll opt for rehab this time.

  Answers concerning the prognosis for Ashley Brignac's shoulder injury are on hold. Right now, according to her mother, Tammy Brignac, it's rehab and hope.

That was the news from a phone interview on Thursday concerning an injury that could threaten next season for the star sophomore pitcher of the UL softball team.

"We don't have any answers yet," Tammy Brignac said. "Ashley's rehabbing very hard. That's where she's at right now."

Tammy Brignac confirmed last week's story by The Daily Advertiser that the Cajuns' record-setting freshman in 2008 has been diagnosed with a tear of the labrum in her right pitching shoulder.

For well over a month, the Brignacs have been consulting Dr. Sherry Werner on treatment of the injury. Based in Arlington, Texas, Werner is one of the nation's leading authorities on the biomechanics of the shoulder for windmill pitchers.

Brignac's medical treatment is being handled by a doctor in New Orleans.

Actually I am a homer cajunboudin, never denied that. I think Bob Heist has covered all the bases in this article, interviewing a PARENT, COACH and mentioning that the doctor is a BIOMECHANICS EXPERT with a PHD, and not a orthopedic surgeon.

I’m sorry that I hurt Bob and your feelings. Can’t we just all get along?

Stevie P was going to call the coaches who are heading to Boca Raton today to see if Brignac was sick. That's what he heard and that's probably the reason why she didnt start game 2.

Talked to coach Lotief tonight and Brignac experienced some discomfort in her throwing shoulder and will be out for a couple of weeks.

 The UL softball team, still reeling from a series loss to South Alabama, was dealt another blow over the weekend.

Sophomore pitcher Ashley Brignac, who led the Cajuns with a 31-7 record and 1.38 ERA last year, will be out for at least two weeks after experiencing discomfort in her throwing shoulder.

Brignac suffered a slight tear in her labrum late last season and spent the summer and fall rehabbing the injury.
