Sharp pain in the bottom of my heel? Now I know why Glenn Rice loafs down the court to get back on D.
Maybe you have bone spurs. Maybe you need to see a doctor. I just had back surgery so I have no sympathy for you. Suck it up WUSS! j/k... if it's bugging you that bad, you probably should see a doctor.
Im only 27 for chrissake. Thanks for the sympathy DoD Its not that bad, but definitely painful. I came down on it hard when I was trying to move my bed around.....
Unless its walking to a clients office from my car, or sweating playing bass, I really dont exercise that much.....
I have the same thing but it's not bothering me. As long as I don't wear shoes with flat soles it's gone. Do you wear those kind of shoes? If not, wearing moderately high heel shoes might help. Just my experience. Hope it helps.
Sorry, I didn't know that. One more thing that I forgot to mention, I've heard that some people have the opposite remedy to this kind of pain. They can't wear shoes with relatively high heels. They can only wear shoes with relatively flat and comfortable soles to avoid the pain. Strange. So what I'm trying to say is, it might be a shoe problem.
I had it. There was a sharp pain when I stepped out of bed each morning. It would usually go away for awhile then come back later in the day. Went to the doc...gave me an xray that showed the resulting heel spur as a result of the faciitis. Anyway...she gave me some anti-inflammatories, told me to wear padded shoes around the house (I used to go barefoot) and also told me to stretch my foot BEFORE getting out of bed each day. Toe raises are good to. After all that it just went away one day. Sometimes I'll feel a little shock on my heel in the morning but the day long pain and soreness is gone.
That was my point, SF had it and played defense. Then again GR never really played D, but now he plays no D. No excuses for Glen. I get pain in the bottom of my feet from a disorder called Turner's Syndrome. It is because the bones in the bottom of my feet are soft. And this whole condition was exaggerated when I jumped off a twenty foot high roof and missed a trampoline whilst I was in the midst of a drunken haze. My arches have collapsed and I am doing daily foot conditioning in the gym to train my muscles to stop cramping in my feet. They still play D though.
Plantar fasciatis has nothing to do with being a sloth. After the most active, hoops-wise, time of my life, I came down with it. This physical therapist I was seeing at the time (parents' insurance, 'natch) told me to take it easy, stop playing basketball, and to stop playing basketball on blacktop or concrete altogether. I stopped, for almost two weeks. Started wearing three pairs of socks and put my whole foot and ankle in the bucket of ice water more than I had before (read: three times a day, this was summer time). Not a lot of fun. It ended Andrew Toney's career, and nobody ever accused him of being lazy.
I hereby accuse one Andrew Toney of the crime of laziness! Sloth fills his soul and he hath tortoise in his veins!
I'm pretty sure I got it at age 13 during track season. Of course, no one talked about it back then and my coach thought I was faking something. The memory of that (literal) sore spot always brings back a (figurative) sore spot in my sporting past. My coach (and my dad) were making me run both the 2 mile and the mile in meets (while I wanted to concentrate soley on the mile), and about half-way through the season I'd start getting the sharp pain about on the 6th lap of the 2 mile, and couldn't run the mile after that. coach kept making me run the 2 mile and I kept having to scratch on the mile, and I didn't shake it 'till after the season. For such a good start at the beginning, what a wasted season that turned out to be....and they all thought I was faking something....grrrrrr!
