Yikes! Joba Chamberlain’s Arm Post-Tommy John Surgery Looks Pretty Gnarly
By
Yamma hamma! Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain has been keeping his Twitter followers apprised of all developments following his Tommy John surgery last Thursday, and as you can see, the results of the procedure leaves a person’s arm in not-so-appealing of a condition. Yikes.
The above photo showing the condition of Chamberlain’s arm post surgery after the surgical wrap was removed, along with this one, were both uploaded earlier today via this tweet, but just a few moments ago, Joba uploaded another pic (below), captioned “Done!!”
I dunno, man. I’m no surgeon or rehabilitation specialist, but looking at that contraption on his arm, the word “done” doesn’t immediately come to mind. More like, “How am I going to wipe with this damn thing?” But then again, I’m not ambidextrous, either.

Looks like his love life just took a turn for the worse!
Fact that people tend to forget about what athletes go through with injuries. Anytime you get anesthesia, go under the knife, etc. you are at risk especially with the amount of infections out there. This is a good reminder. Yes, he is very wealthy, but there is a cost. Grueling workouts, practices, pressure, anxiety, injuries, surgery, etc. My desk job isn’t that bad in some regards.
don’t be retarded
He’s right. I have an uncle who played for the Canadians minor league team in the 40′s and he had to have both knees replaced from injuries. And I babysat Stan Mikita’s kids….his body is a wreck and he is in pain every day. Keith Primeau (who my son billeted with) STILL has post concussion symptoms. I doubt any of them would go back and NOT play, but they are sure paying a big price. Maybe YOU think money is more important than your health, but some of us would disagree.
Don’t be a faggot
