Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Kane, we're hoping for serious adult talks about foot injuries. The other thread is just about Tex, his replacements and plantar fasciitis.
No, I think you should start a thread about it.
He won’t play round one and most likely won’t play round two either. This injury is not a niggle. Plantar fascia is notoriously difficult to manage.
Tex is leaving?
They would be mad to rush him, why don’t we give him more than 2 weeks in the moon boot? If it means he misses the first month but is injury free for the rest of the year then we’d be cautious surely?
Yep - my comment was more in relation to the club's and Tex's hopes to play round 1. I say, not a chance.
I think he should be ok mate. This is a new injury, not the same recurring type. With proper rest/rehab, he should be right to go in the early rounds.Unfortunately given Tex's age and the fact that this would be his third consecutive season hampered by foot problems, we might start seeing less and less of him
Ok just wait until another few weeks and see who's an idiot.
And if you had bothered to read the information I typed last night instead of trying to play detective about whether I was a former member on here, there are several degrees of plantar fasciitis. I've had minor plantar fasciitis myself and if you rest it well, it can go away even within 1-2 weeks (even without the moon boot). The key is to know how long Tex has the Moon boot on for. If he takes it off in 2 weeks, it means it's a relatively minor injury.
No, I'm John. A guy who is help giving useful information to the forum.
The Navicular , as you can see, is right in that middle area of fleax. Any push forward is affected and any landing, flex upwards also is affected. A real annoyance
I did use google
I googled plantar fasciitis as well
The Plantar is the muscle and tendons underneath the foot
About 90% of plantar fasciitis cases will improve within six months with conservative treatment,[8] and within a year regardless of treatment.[3][6] Many treatments have been proposed for plantar fasciitis. Most have not been adequately investigated and there is little evidence to support recommendations for such treatments.[3] First-line conservative approaches include rest, heat, ice, and calf-strengthening exercises; techniques to stretch the calf muscles, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia; weight reduction in the overweight or obese; and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen.[5][10][20] NSAIDs are commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis, but fail to resolve the pain in 20% of people.[10]
Plantar fasciitis isn't as bad as a plantar fascia tear. Any injuries can have their mild to severe cases.
