Well that still sucks. Full recovery from a tear can take over 3 months.
(don't know if he tore anything)

not really an updatae they had already said it was a foot thing yesterday. Bleh, plantar fascia sucks though
 
Damn, that sucks. I thought it could be serious. If so, this is a huge blow.
 
Not that it makes a difference but I'd rather it be a foot than a knee. In general much longer to recover from a knee (if it's serious). Let's hope it's not horribly bad either way.
 
I read somewhere that KTRISTL signs were banned at practice? Also, how was the crowd?
 
I had/have plantar fasciitis. It's the tendon that runs along the bottom of the foot from heel to just below the toes. It gets inflamed over time from walking alot on hard floors without the optimum support in terms of shoes. It's extremely painful at times. Difficult to even walk. Nurses, long time retail types(like myself who spend most of 40 hrs/week walking) are prone to plantar fascia issues. Athletes too, but usually it's basketball players from the hardwood(Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, for example).
It's chronic. Once you develop it, you have to manage it for life. Routine stretching exercises can help alleviate the problem, as well as more extreme measures like corticosteroid shots.

What i don't understand in relation to EJ Gaines is...did he already have plantar fasciitis and getting stepped on aggravated it? As far as i know you can't develop it from any single injury.

He might have damaged the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis is the chronic disorder.

This.

I damaged the Plantar Fascia one summer while working on the side of a bank in sneakers. I had poor support. Boots were getting uncomfortable so I made the switch. DUMB. Anyways.......was diagnosed with the P Fasciaitis..........turned out wrong. Not a long term injury. Worked with it everyday. It was gone in a month.

Gates from the Chargers had this and it plagued for more than a year, very tough tough injury to get over unless you are on your back.
 
Thinking he'll probably be back preseason game 3 or 4.

Yeah, I always thought it was a chronic thing. Not brought about by a single event. Some mornings its tough for me to walk around the house without shoes. Then again, it might be an age thing. As I get older things start happening more. I'm just minding my own business and then all of a sudden "Owww! What the heck?? I didn't do anything to hurt that!" :mad:

I have had it off an on for years now. It can absolutely be from an injury. My was from a partial tear to the PF. Extremely painful, and takes forever to heal.
 
i had it really bad during high school ball my freshman year. every time I ran or jumped it feel like somebody was swinging a baseball bat right into my heels. it's awful
