Make it too loose and the tendon doesn't function properly and transfer power. Make it too tight and the tendon doesn't function properly, limiting mobility, range of motion, flexibility, etc.
I was already out when old roomie and I had our usual pre-draft call. What her husband told me shifted me even more firmly that way.

I was reading about it a few weeks back on webMD or something and they mentioned a condition where it just flares up with swelling and pain periodically which happens to "almost everyone." I don't remember the name of it but basically it was a given - this injury gives you this condition and you just have to go easy on it. Perhaps it's like gout or something, I don't know, but it was basically a given.
