Levi is getting close to returning to the Court...
Deep knee bruise?
Sooner or later. In this case it appears that for Levi Randolph the answer will be soon and not later. While the University of Alabama has not been very specific on his injury, I've learned he suffered a deep bone bruise in his knee. This is supposedly a very painful injury and the best rehabilitation is rest and anti-inflammatories. That is as close as I can find out and at least it is from a person who should know because he sees Levi on a daily basis. I hope this is correct. This man has always given me great information and is rarely wrong Step one in recovery is to wear a brace to keep flexing the knee to a minimum and for protection. Step two is a lighter weight knee brace that offers support and more flexing in the knee. Step three to to discard the brace, and begin to work out to see what pain level is for that individual, and go from there until a player is ready for full speed. If the bruise was serious it 'normally' takes 6-8 weeks for a person to be at full speed. The less serious the bruise the shorter the rehabilitation process. The possibility of re-injury is very possible and often an athlete with still wear the brace until he find his comfort level. This is an injury that might put a football player on the bench for most of a season. I found out that the fear is another "impact" in the same place. The knee isn't likely to be hurt with anything but a severe blow on the old injury spot. I hope my friend is correct but a quicker return to the court by Levi is essential for Tide future NCAA hopes
