Zack Wheeler took a painful route for this rehabilitation:
“You do a shot in your stomach every day for six months. It’s not fun, but you got to do it,’’ Wheeler told me. “They give it to people with brittle bones, osteoporosis. My arm feels great. I’ve been on the mound six times now so if this helps me get to 30 starts, I’m all for it.’’
Forteo, according to its website, is a prescription medicine that is like a hormone made by the body called parathyroid hormone or PTH. Forteo may help to form new bone and to increase bone mineral density and bone strength.
I wonder if he is going to need to repeat these injections periodically?
