4 days 15 hours ago	treatment of trigger finger	Injections are effective about 80% of the time if done properly.  Surgery is effective and relatively easy surgery to get over. I am an orthopaedic surgeon and I do both frequently. I typically recommend trying injection first.  They can recur with injection, surgery is the definitive cure.
5 weeks 5 days ago	Great thread	My son is 18 and we have been watching UM sports both live and on TV since we both can remember. We did again last night and I did so knowing it was going to be a special night. He will be heading off to college next fall and yesterday I was actually thinking about the fact that next year I will not get to watch the games with him.  It made me sad, but I knew last night was going to be special.  He got accepted at Michigan, but has narrowed his college choices to Vanderbilt and Harvard. He and I both know he will always be a huge Michigan fan. It is in his DNA. I have 2 daughters, one who will watch games with me, so all is not lost.  For all of you with little ones, enjoy these opportunities and memories, they are special. I read this blog almost daily (as does my son), but I rarely comment.  I am always proud to be a Michigan Wolverine.  And I am proud to be associated with this blog.
7 weeks 7 hours ago	Great story. I am a father of	Great story. I am a father of three and there is nothing better than enjoying great Michigan victories with your kids. My kids are huge fans and we live in Florida so todays win was especially sweet! They grow up fast, enjoy every opportunity you get.  My son who is a huge Michigan fan, got accepted to Harvard on Thursday so it has been a very exciting weekend.  While I would love for him to go to UM (me and my wife are alumni) , Harvard may be too good to pass up.  I am sure I will get some comments for that statement.
13 weeks 1 day ago	I am an orthopaedic surgeon	I am an orthopaedic surgeon and I would encourage you to have ACL reconstruction if you want to remain active doing impact activities. The surgery has a very high success rate if you do your rehab.  Unless you are content with being less active there is no good reason not to do it.  Do your homework and find a good surgeon.  If you have surgery, my advice is to have an autograft (your tissue) instead of an allograft (cadaver).  The studies show hamstrings and patella tendons to be equal (there are some pros and cons of each).  Most surgeons have a preference of one or the other.  Have the surgeon you pick do the one he does the most of (and likely the best). Good luck.

1 year 9 weeks ago	I spent some crazy nights at	I spent some crazy nights at Shock Trauma a few years ago.  Fun, in a somewhat distorted way.  Great place to see a high volume of trauma.  Residency, like any educational experience is what you make of it.  So whatever you get will work out.  Good luck.
2 years 4 weeks ago	top 10 sports memories	No particular order: Michigan over OSU, Harbaugh to Kolesar 1985. Michigan vs Duke 2011 NCAA tournament.  Maybe the best UM sports atmosphere ever! (despite the loss) Redwings over Caps 1998 Game 4 to sweep Stanley Cup in DC. Pistons over Celtics Eastern Conference finals game 5 1989. Masters 2004.Mike Weir wins in Sudden Death. Mark Fidrych 1976 at Tiger Stadium. Michigan over ND 2009, Go Tate! Tigers over Toronto Blue Jays Friday night of final weekend of 1987 to get to playoffs. Doyle Alexander tosses a gem. Michigan vs UCONN, new stadium opens, club level seats, Brock Mealer. Michigan over  Miami, 1984 season opener.  Miami came in ranked #1
2 years 10 weeks ago	All students at Florida are	All students at Florida are not guaranteed season tickets.  In fact, I think they sell them  in blocks of games, not all of the games.
2 years 11 weeks ago	I will be in Vegas cheering	I will be in Vegas cheering on Big Blue! I have got a good feeling.  We are going to stick it to Sparty and keep rolling!!!! GO BLUE!!!!!
2 years 12 weeks ago	I would agree that the best	I would agree that the best way to go is to buy tickets for single games/sessions from scalpers unless you want to see a buch of games.  Since Michigan is unlikely to make it far in tournament it is more economical than buying the entire package.  If Michigan does keep winning there are plenty of people trying to dump tickets after their team is knocked out.

2 years 25 weeks ago	I have been a Michigan fan	I have been a Michigan fan for 40 years.  I was a student in 1984 when we went 6-6.  That year everybody was calling Bo a dinosaur, saying he needs to open it up and not run off tackle on every first and second down.  The next year was one of his best teams, finnishing 2nd in the polls.  All of a sudden he was a genius again.  The bottom line is you have to win.  It does not matter how, pro-style offense or spread offense.  Four years ago, the same people who are complaining now were saying Lloyd Carr has to go, the game has passed him by.  Again, you just have to win.  I personally,would like to see RR get one more year, three years is not enough.  If he does not show continued improvement then get rid of him.  I, like everyone else, have my concerns about the defense and ST.  I don't think we should let Harbaugh hold us hostage, although I am a big fan of his.  Above all we need to support our team.  Go Blue!!!
2 years 25 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	I agree. Go blue!!!
2 years 26 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	I agree. I was a student in mid 80s and was frustrated then by lack of enthusiasm. I am not young any more but just as rabid. I think the problem is too many old fogies. Last year I had a bunch of guys around me who looked like they were ready to keel over any minute. They just don't have the energy to go hard the whole game. Anyway, I will be loud the whole game. Go blue!!!!
2 years 26 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	I will be there, traveling from FL. I consider myself a failure if I leave with a voice. We need to drown the badgers in noise!!!!

2 years 28 weeks ago	Last year after the OSU game	Last year after the OSU game I was walking up State st after the game and some OSU students were walking south against all of the pedestrian traffic of Michigan students.  I am not a student, but a UM grad.  The OSU students were talking trash, of course, as they walked by.  A UM student said to them "Just remember, you are still Ohio State and we are still MICHIGAN!!!!!"  I could not have said it better.  I must admit I have used the line since.  Keep the faith, we will prevail again.  GO BLUE!!!!
2 years 30 weeks ago	did anybody notice that it	did anybody notice that it got louder in the third and fourth quarter after many of the fair weather fans left.  We dont need em, dont come back.  I had a few of them behind me too.  Just stay away if your not a real fan!
2 years 30 weeks ago	Best game experience	I took my 12 year old daughter to her first game yesterday. The atmosphere could not have better (except for a win). Day was perfect, crowd was great! It was loud in the fourth Q even after some people had left. My daughter did not want to leave at the end of the game. She was already a fan, but I saw passion I had not seen before!!! She is hooked, asking when she can come back. We live in Florida. A great memory for both of us! GO BLUE!!!
