plantar fasciitis does not heal in 3-4 weeks. It can be tolerated but it won't be nowhere near 100% for a while. Luckly Brad's athleticism won't suffer much since he has none to begin with.

Well Some Of Brad Doesn't Sound Bad Even If He Isn't Atleast 80% Or What Not

Acctually, Piksi, when they found he had an actual torn plantar fascia, I think that changed the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. Might actually be a plus, becasue a tear can heal, whereas inflammation can drag on and on. Still. I'm suprised he's feeling ready to come back, altho they showed him jogging up and down the court before the last game.

I have a good friend of mine who had plantar faciitis and you have to go through three phases to take care of it:
1)Cortisone shots and physical therapy
2)electro shock treatment
3)surgery
It doesnt heal overnight, or in a month...especially on athletes that put alot of wear and tear on their feet. It took over a year for my friend to get back ot SORT of where he was before the injury. This specific injury with the foot, can REALLY do a number on a career, especially in the NBA...remember Billy Owens?? Doug Christie??

That's what I was trying to say above. Diagnosis was changed from plantar fasciitis to a torn planter fascia. Which supposedly might be actually easier to deal with than the persistent inflammation of the fascia.

Must have torn it while he was reeling in that big sturgeon out on the river.
Brad he doesn't have plantar fasciitis. He had a ruptured plantar tendon. As a physical therapist, I have seen my share of both of these injuries. Certainly, a rupture is usually faster to heal, and less nagging of an injury. A rupture will sometimes turn into fasciitis in the future. Lets hope that doesn't happen.
Intrestingly enough, one treatment of plantar faciitis, is to rupture the tendon surgically.

Thanks for the insight on this, however you put it, it doesnt sound like anything I'd want to experience, if I had my choice of injuries to have...and I've had ALOT!Brad he doesn't have plantar fasciitis.

Good then, his body gave him free surgery! Pretty efficient if you ask me. Can't wait to have Brad back. Just hope Ron and Mike get better soon too.

That's the scary part. I hope that brad coming back early wouldn't mean a higher risk for plantar faciitis !
