R Foot, Plantar Fasciitis
2008-06-16 – 2010-02-12
Grade: 3
Repetitive stress injury to muscle/tendon attachments surrounding the heel. Calcaneal joint inflamation. Calcaneal stress fracture? I hope not...
Some irritation in the left heel as well.
Icing + ice bath's 3-5 x's per day.
Rest.
I'm taking a full 2 weeks off. Evaluate at the end of the period.
Can't get in to see Dr Crane until late August and that would prevent me from racing in September, so won't get in for an injection (if needed) until Octoberish.
3 rounds of injections on the right foot, 1 on the left. All the damaged tissue seems to be repaired. Minor discomfort remains at the insertion points on both heals.
Began PT on 3/19/2009 to see if that would polish off the final discomfort.
