Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 Ugh, keeps getting worse, although at least it is inflammation only, but I wish he could stay healthy, especially now we need Helmer Considering he aggravated it enough to justify an MRI, finding out it's only inflammation is a bit of a gift. I want him back as much as everyone here on LGW, but rushing him just opens a door for worse injury. Get well soon, Helm. I miss being able to post this... 2 Euro_Twins and YMHC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya like I said I am glad it's inflammation only, it just sucks we will be another week without him. Obviously I don't want him to rush it, you can't mess with back problems, I just want him to be healthy soon so he can energize our team again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ram 240 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 He is a major asset to this team so couldn't be more glad with this news that it isn't long term. Hope he takes as much time as needed so not to aggravate it further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 KHAAAAAAN!!! Darren Helm said tests Monday (bone scan, CT scan) were negative. Will see back specialist in next day or two. can't figure out the issue I suppose it's good news that there's no bone damage. Means the problem is a muscular issue, and not bone/skeletal. Another case of "It might be bad, but it could have been much worse", perhaps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,935 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 This is becoming stupid....may as well put him on LTIR for the season and let him come back in September fully healed...remove him from the roster and get someone here to take his place for the time being...

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Turns out it's a small tear or strain in a ligament in his lower back, but that's actually a bit of good news (in that, it could have been much worse, but isn't). Per Helene St. James/Free Press... The Detroit Red Wings got some good news on center Darren Helm after his visit to a back specialist. "They ruled out everything bad," general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press. "It's a small strain or tear in a lower back ligament. He got an injection, said he felt better right away." Helm is now under orders to rest until Monday, at which point the Wings anticipate being able to start treatment and get Helm on a path to a return to the lineup. However, there's still no timetable for his return. There's more in the story, so I encourage you to click the link and give it a read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
