Does this thread get to 100 pages?

 

Is medic allowed to post opinions in it?

 

Will I find a way to squeeze in another clever mighty ducks reference?

 

Tune in later in the week to find out!

It's going to take a lot of professional help to fix Twitter. I hope it doesn't cost him all his money.

Hope he truly gets the help he needs to get better for himself and his children. If that includes golf in the future it's a bonus.

Professional help for the back pain which is good, but bad at the same time, because he's still in pain, which is worrying after a fusion.

 

Hopefully it's just residual nerve pain but unlikely since this goes away in a couple days post op or even like he described, instantly relieved when waking up

[highergr0und]

Hopefully he gets the help he needs..... Seems to have an addictive personality

[youraway2]

Glad he's seeking help for drug addiction. Hope he gets better and returns to the game.

Google is your friend.

Obviously this is a good thing right? I mean surely we can all agree on that

Get well Tiger!

[ZBigStick]

Was he ever cured of his sex addiction?

[bigchucksr]

Fortunately, for me, I couldn't care less. Tiger is what Tiger is and he will be fine, freed from the necessity of having to entertain me with his golf game. He will make a good "elder statesman" for the PGA somewhere down the line. Meantime, we shouldn't be sweating the small stuff like DUI's and such.

I imagine the view from the really high horses a lot of members ride will make it hard to do so!!!

[PGArox]

He clearly needs it.

[DivitsInTheGreen]

He said he is going to get professional help to manage his medications for pain and sleep issues. I didn't really read that he was admitting addiction.

I'm on the edge of my seat, Thrillhouse.

[hurricanes7]

wonder if tiger is addicted to the balm like koepka is

[cardoustie]

Good for him

 

Best wishes for better back health and getting off the cycle of meds you're stuck on

When I had my neck surgery, c4-5, c6-7 fused, the nerve pain was gone when I woke up. There was some surgical pain, but that went away in less than a week. Tiger either has a problem with the surgery, or he really needs to be in rehab. Hope he can get himself in order.

Here we go! :)

He stated he had no pain in the days before the arrest. He's dealing with how he deals with pain, not the pain itself. Big difference as he's insinuating an addiction. How many public/private figures do we have to lose to the opioid addiction before we truly send help where it's needed.

 

Godspeed Tiger.

[sandy]

Obviously his "best I've felt in years" proclamation was drug produced. Pretty sad that he ends up going down the same road as many athletes with too much money, too much free time, no real friends. Part time parent, girlfriends now that seem to be with him for what he buys them. So now he can add drug addict to sex addict. Maybe the good thing that will come out of this (other than him learning about his addiction) is the doctors that keep giving him these combinations of prescriptions will take note so they don't lose their licenses.

 

Hope for the best because he certainly was headed down the road to destruction..

[Llortamaisey]

Glad he's finally getting professional help. I always had a sneaky suspicion that he was getting help from the old man at the corner telling him to drink more 'Tussin for his back.

Assuming your medical situation is comparable to everyone else is not the way to go in cases like this.

[theboypinoy]

Glad he's getting help. At this point, it's bigger than just his golf.

[Socrates]

Is this where John Daly calls him up and gives him a few pointers?

 

 

It seems that Mark Rolfing and Notah were right on the button when they said that they hoped this was a wakeup call and he got help. Can only wish him well and hope he is successful.

[Thrillhouse]

In all seriousness I wish him the best.

 

But if I post in here again I'm either going to be screwing around or getting in a fight about trap draws or arguing that twin peaks has hotter waitresses than hooters (which they do).

Twin peaks is better than hooters, but tilted kilt waitresss are pretty hot too.
