“I don’t know if I needed it after awhile, but you come to a point where you go into a game, and if you’ve had an injury, and I had that blown ACL, I figured it was going to hurt a lot during the game, so I went and took it anyways. The worst part about it is when you finally get home after the game. You get home and you want to drink a beer or something and you stand up and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m really hurting now.’ When that stuff wears off, you realize how much it can mask the pain.”
