Jons operation
 

Did Jon ever have that knee operation that h mentioned around the time crush was being released. it was mentioned on the chat they did over the internet, where a fan asked did jon still run 4 miles a day and he said something along the lines of he is waiting for an operation.

only asking becuase ive just watched one last wild night on youtube and he was jumpin around etc

I think he had it around the Crush era.

so he did have an operation

Yes he had an operation before the Crush tour.

What was wrong with his knee?

I don't know for sure. I think it was something caused by the constant touring in the 80's/90's but can't tell you what it exactly was.

He had a torn meniscus.

this topic has been very well detailed.... not

If I remember rightly he had a bad knee.

im getin to the point where if i find out which knee it was i will call this thread a success

Look, we can all just agree on the fact that, at some point in time, Jon Bon Jovi had a doctor examine his leg.

The end.

sorry for asking..........








tosser

Lets get to debating over which knee it was. Lets have a poll, right or left?

I'm taking the left knee! I'll bet $10 on it...any takers?

So ... Jon had surgery to repair a torn meniscus around 2000 ... a torn calf muscle in 2010 ... another surgery for torn meniscus / MCL (depending upon what you read) in 2011. Anyone know if this was all on the same leg? Or is he just prone to leg injuries?

His left feels right

He also had stress fractures in both his legs on the NJ tour.

What caused these stress fractures?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd say stress

Not only did Jon tear up his voice from years of singing, he tore up his body running around stages for years in heeled boots (I think he now essentially wears dress 'basketball' type shoes), jumping off speakers, falling to his knees, etc. The massages and ice packs after shows aren't just for fun but for pain. Truthfully, in the old clips, to me he sounds out-of-breath a lot of the time. No wonder he used to give long introductions before songs or have the band play long solos--he needed to gather his strength. In the recent clips I've seen he seems to be connecting with the audience fine. He is moving, he isn't a statute.

Doesn't seem to have done Bruce any harm ^

efpg, you should be a Doctor ;)

He didn't say. He just made light saying he was playing "with two broken legs" at the time.

My guess... bad shoes. ;)

Must have been trying to learn to fly...

Like Jimmy Shoes? He also busted both his legs trying to learn to fly. :)

He just jumped and closed his eyes.

at 25 mark.

Oh, that's classic! Sent all of the security guards into massive panic mode.
