Hall of Famer
Chronos = Greek iirc, based on time, in medical usage, it refers to long term, persistence, more than 3m for a particular problem. Many people use the word chronic to suggest severity, but chronic does not have to be severe. There can be acute flareups of a chronic problem, maybe like Motlop's patellar tendon, so I'm hoping Stanley gets over this without sequelae and without flareups. Only TIME will tell.Really? I didn't know that. I thought it meant repeat injury of the same issue- I think I've been using it wrong. Does it apply to, say, lots of short-lived but different injuries? ie if they add up to over 3 months. (Or does it have to be a continuous length of time?)
The 3 month bit is a guideline, but most chronic problems are easily > 3months.
