That doesn't sound too bad. Is she likely to dance this week?
She was meant to appear on ITT with an update today, but there was no mention of her on the official Strictly twitter a few minutes ago. |

From 10-second Google research: Quote:
Grade II MCL Tear That doesn't sound all that reassuring, particularly re: the 'cut or pivot' part.
These patients may complain of instability when attempting to cut or pivot. The pain and swelling is more significant, and usually a period of 3-4 weeks of rest is necessary. |

Thank you L L, nice to have solid information.
But not nice to hear it regarding Jade. My prediction is that the "no decision yet" position will be maintained until at least Friday's ITT and perhaps even till the night of the show. At which point Jade will officially pull out. Unless they show uncharacteristic boldness, of course, but their track record on ignoring bad news (Antongate for example) isn't encouraging there. Or, of course, they may yet let her do a Tango with heavy strapping under the dress and a painkilling injection. But how badly could the injury be aggravated by a Tango, even though Jade would feel very little? I'm sure this is what she and her advisers are asking themselves. Can you help, drbolognese? |

It's a bit much to ask someone to voice an opinion on someone else's patient. And with only what they can have read or without ever examining or even speaking to the patient. |

Thanks for the link. So pleased to hear that its not as serious as originally thought, what good news.
'grade two tear of the medial collateral ligament ' - I've done this as well, this is probably the only thing I will ever have in common with an Olympic athlete!! |

The good doctor has, however, voiced his opinion on the injury already. On the injury, not on the patient.

I, too, would be interested to hear her insights into this type of injury and the possible implications. |

What you really want to know, are Jade's chances of performing on Saturday.
No one can tell you that yet. |

Well, like Doghouse Riley has said (below), its hard to comment conclusively on Jade's injury as I have said before its difficult to do so when I havent seen the patient or examined them. With the bare minimum of information we have been given and from what Jade has said herself and also the fact we havent been given an idea either way if she will dance or not, Ive got a horrible feeling Jade *may* have to pull out. Her injury isnt too severe and should heal with conservative treatment only. But I am concerned that intensive dancing on her injury could aggravate it. And she's a sensible girl, she wont risk her career for a dance competition, no matter how awesome we all thought her tango was going to be. Quote:

But the same "injury" can affect different people in different ways, there's more things to be considered, than a brief statement from the BBC, apart from "the pain threshold" of individuals.

I, too, would be interested to hear her insights into this type of injury and the possible implications. ![]() Although I cannot give a clear idea of exactly how this injury will affect Jade, it is of my opinion that she could dance this weekend and it depends on the wonderful physios and the Doctors who see her. I am afraid - not as a professional but as a fan - that it may hurt her more than do good and therefore affect her career. |

What I would like is to know what the possible outcomes are from this type of injury so that I can manage my own expectations. I think we're all intelligent enough to realise that DrB can't give a definitive prognosis for Jade's particular case, but she can explain to us - in a way that we can understand - what the text book possible outcomes are and the factors that they are dependent upon. This, for me, is far more interesting than idle speculation or vague Google searches.

I believe I'm right in saying that Jade doesn't have any sort of sponsorship at the moment. Her lottery funding was withdrawn in the season before the last Olympics because she had suffered so many injuries and hadn't been able to compete. She lived off her own money while she trained for Beijing. She also missed most of this last season (again injury) and as far as I know still does not have any funding. If she has, I missed any news about it.
![]() I love Jade and would like to see her win Strictly but I would be sorry to see her continue and risk her season next year. If she has injury problems again she will surely lose her funding. |

From the "no news" on IT2 tonight, I suspect it'll be "no Jade" on Saturday.
After all it's "just telly." |

Jade has been on Podium funding through 2009 even though she had the year out by choice in order to fully recover so she could be fit to work towards 2012 and she is on podium funding again for 2010. The Europeans and Commonwealths are both next year and they really should be her priority.

Thanks! I didn't know she'd got it for the season this year. And I agree with you about her priorities - I don't doubt they're hers as well, but you know sportsmen & women - if there's a chance to compete, they will.

Very true but they also learn by their mistakes. At least the sportsman in our house has - if in doubt = don't. Hard decision sometimes. Jade has a realistic chance of medalling at both comps next year and it would be great to see her long jump going well again.

I'd be very relieved if she just pulled out of SCD for safety's sake, regardless of whether she's given the go ahead to continue. The selfish part of me wants to see her carry on.

Best advice for any sportsperson with an injury,
"If it hurts, don't do it until it's better." |

Nope, best advice is "work with the physios with their expert and healing exercises until your body has healed the injury by itself otherwise you will stiffen up, your muscles could atrophy and you can find yourself up Poop Creek without a Paddle"
![]() The selfish part of me wants to see this amazing Tango but I would much rather she concentrated on getting her knee to peak fitness again, whatever it takes. |
