"Brenden Morrow's recovery for pain and stiffness in his back, neck and shoulder will take at least ``a couple of more weeks,'' Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said today.

``He's not making the progress we had hoped for, so we just need to let him continue his rehabilitation and therapy and that will probably take at least a couple of more weeks,'' Gulutzan said.

Morrow has been bothered by stiffness in his upper back and neck that make it painful at times and also make it difficult to turn his head. He has used rest and injections to deal with the problem for more than a year, but those solutions aren't working as well now.

``The injections were great at first, and they really solved the problem,'' Morrow said. ``But the first one lasted a year, and then the next one maybe five or six months, and then the next one a month or so, and then this last one maybe seven days. So we have to take a different approach to this.''

Morrow has had all sorts of treatment and has seen an ART (Active Release Therapist) specialist. He said he has talked to doctors and said he might simply have to relearn how to train and play."
