"I was pitching a lot, and this European body is barely hanging on. I was taking a lot of caffeine, anti-inflammatories, and a lot of BioSteel... 7 to 8 Biosteels a day with a lot of throwing. I wake up one day, and I think I tore my oblique is torn... they do some testing, and they (Jays) think my appendix has burst."
"Apparently, because I was taking so many anti-inflammatories and caffeine, my kidneys were shutting down and very inflamed. I went to a kidney specialist and they recommended no physical activity for six months... I had to get IV's for a full month and had to monitor my creatine levels."
Jordan Romano discussed his health struggles during his time as the Blue Jays closer. He experienced severe pain, initially suspected to be a torn oblique or burst appendix. After emergency tests, it was revealed that his kidneys were inflamed due to high consumption of anti-inflammatories and caffeine. Romano was advised to cease physical activity for six months and underwent IV treatment while monitoring his creatine levels. He emphasized the need to hydrate more and reduce his intake of certain substances.
