Jess Lockwood Updates

Jess Lockwood visited with PBR sports med last weekend in Billings.  And while Dr. Freeman inexplicably still has yet to receive his most recent MRI from the pelvis surgeon, upon examination Tandy did rule out Jess’s hips as a source of his pain.  One opinion not ruled out is that Jess may be suffering from Osteitis pubis, a condition in which there’s inflammation where the right and left pubic bones meet at the lower front part of the pelvis.  Osteitis pubis does not require a surgical procedure to remedy.  Since it usually develops from overdoing a particular activity, the key to treating it is rest.  And to specifically refrain from doing the particular activity that caused the inflammation.  He is currently 33^rd in the PBR UTB world finals standings with 159 points.

Jess Lockwood’s riding status remains unclear at this time.  Since returning from Philadelphia he spoke with Dr. Tandy Freeman last Monday afternoon, and as of Friday, Tandy was still waiting for the surgeon’s diagnosis and MRI disc so he can “take over” Jess’s care and determine what the next step needs to be for Lockwood.  Until Freeman can review the MRI and most likely perform another examination Jess remains at home unable to compete. He remains 27^th in the PBR UTB world finals standings with 159 points.

Jess Lockwood’s riding status remains unclear at this time.  He has since returned from his appointment with Dr. Myers (Pelvis surgeon in Philadelphia) where he received seven steroid shots to try and rectify his discomfort / tightness internally.  He has a call with Dr. Freeman this afternoon to come up with a plan moving forward.  After talking to Jess again this morning his frustration level is peaking as both he and Dr. Freeman felt that he would have received more direction from his Philadelphia visit rather than a few injections, and some hope, to see if that will cure his current condition.  I will touch base with you later on this week with an update … and hopefully a clearer path for Jess.  He is currently 27^th in the PBR UTB world finals standings with 159 points.

Jess Lockwood’s riding status remains unknown until his Dr.’s appointment today.  Jess tweaked his previously surgically repaired pelvis in Little Rock and Dr. Tandy Freeman advised him to hold off on riding until an MRI can properly diagnose the current issues.  His appointment this afternoon in Philadelphia is with the surgeon that performed his original pelvis repair.  I’ll stay in touch with you if / when I hear any new information.  Jess is currently 26^th in the PBR UTB world finals standings with 159 points.

Jess Lockwood did not compete this past weekend in Eugene due to minor complications from the injections he took last week.  Not necessarily the injection itself, but the actual injection location and the subsequent swelling and irritation.   When we last spoke, he felt he’ll be ready for Los Angeles this weekend.  Lockwood is currently 31^st in the PBR UTB world finals standings with 102 points.
