Pickleball Got Me Today...

[JMintzer]

My first full day back in TV and I went to play Pickelball with the wife. 5 minutes into our 2nd game, I felt something "pop" in my right arch, close to the heel...

I knew what it was right away. A partial tear in my Plantar Fascia... I tired to finish the game, but I had to quit...

I popped a handful of Motrin, and I've spent the afternoon with and ice bag on my heel and the foot elevated. No sign or bruising or swelling (which is good), but it hurts like a sumbich when I first get up to walk...

I had to cancel our golf game this afternoon...

I could have sworn someone said that Pickelball was better than golf...

Hopefully, I'll be able to play golf when my daughter and son in law arrive tomorrow evening. We have a tee-time at Evans Prairie on Wednesday...

Well, at least I'll be able to take the cart...

Ouch!

Give it plenty of rest - all to easy to try to get back out there too soon.

[Stu from NYC]

Think an xray is in order. Pop does not sound good

[Papa_lecki]

Lot’s of time to get in trouble on TOTV then.

[Kenswing]

Now if you only knew a good foot doctor. lol

[Velvet]

Ice, crutches, limited activity, pain control …you know the drill….

And music, good music.

[JMintzer]

Ummm...

Now if you only knew a good foot doctor. lol

I'll see if I can find one...:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

[CFrance]

Take two aspirin and call yourself in the morning...

[Hardlyworking]

Sounds painful, I hope you can find help soon.

Psychologically? I don't think I'm curable... :jester:

[villagetinker]

Florida Musculoskeletal in lake Sumter Landing Dr. Weber, have him take a look I have been very pleased with his services. I have potentially bad knees, was advised to avoid all sports with high impact to knees, I have followed the advice, I golf and bowl, and knees are working fine.

ouch...I've had plantar fasciitis, in both feet...hurts a lot....I don't want to try to imagine what a partial tear would feel like...
I've had a succession of hamstring problems this winter, and now fighting (and losing) a battle with tennis elbow.

I wish you a speedy recovery, but you know better than most, these things don't heal quickly.

Thanks, but treating this is what I've been doing for a living for over 35 years...

As some of you know, I'm a Podiatrist... :wave:

I just hope it's feeling better before I go back to the office in 2 weeks... Having your Podiatrist limping around the office doesn't exactly instill an air of confidence to your patients... :p

Might as well go on a shellfish and liquor binge, bring on the gout. What the hell, your foot is out of commission anyways!

[Chucker]

Sounds like Plantar Fasciitis. I froze a 16 oz water bottle and while you are sitting around roll it back and forth on the bottom of your foot. Plantar Fasciitis does not go away real quick. It took me months to get rid of it. Good Luck:

[bowlingal]

And, that's why I don't play pickelball. Way too many injuries

[Laker14]

And, that's why I don't play pickelball. Way too many injuries

It's also why I shouldn't play PB. However, the "fun quotient" keeps drawing me back.

[Michael G.]

Ah yes, welcome to Old Age, the mucus the makes TV go around and appointments after appointments to come.

[Remembergoldenrule]

I used a sock similar to these until my foot felt better. Mine came in two pack. Wear one while other washed.

Sand/Beach Tennis is an fun alternative to Pickleball that's a little safer.

Achilles?

[racquetdude]

I suggest you try touchtennis. You can play it on a pickleball court. The problem with pb is the ball bounces too low and the paddles are too short, requiring players to bend over and that causes injuries.

[rsmurano]

Bad knees? Why give up things you like to do because you have bad knees? Replace the knees or get injections so you can do what you want.

[NotGolfer]

I just love these threads where people don't scroll and read before posting their responses! OP says he's a podiatrist so probably knows what needs to be done. Hoping he feels better soon and listens to what he'd tell his patients.

[JMintzer]

I seem to be immune from gout. Many a crab feast with no ill effects...

But, I have the needle and cortisone... Just in case...

[NoMo50]

Pickleball is the #1 injury-producing activity in The Villages. Sorry you had to add to the statistics. On the bright side, be glad it's not a torn knee ligament or a hip! Recover soon...

Nope. The achilles tendon is fine. It's the bottom of the heel...

But yeah, It's does drive me a bit bonkers when people don't read the thread before posting...

[Villages Kahuna]

Pickleball can be a dangerous sport. I recall one key rule taught my wife and I when we took lessons several years ago — NEVER, EVER RUN BACKWARDS! (Lots of people suffer head injuries, concussions, bad cuts, etc. when they try to “back up” to hit a ball, then trip and fall backwards, hitting their heads.)

But I’m sure you know that already.

[Bilyclub]

This thread is really showing how many posters don't read the whole thread before posting. Either that or reading comprehension is as bad as the driving around here.

Of course people are going to weigh in with advice. Why on earth anyone would post their aches and pains on this forum is beyond me, short of soliciting sympathy or attention. Maybe a get well card would be more appropriate.

Good grief.

I ended up with both feet having that same problem after playing a lot of pickleball. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to heal at our ages. Good luck.

Apparently not all of us read an entire thread before posting or perhaps some doubt you really are a podiatrist.

For the doubters post either your diploma or some testimonials for people who had problems with their feet and after seeing you walked out of your office.

And yes this is tongue firmly in cheek.:BigApplause:

It was an injury on a pickleball court. Of interest to many. Also this is a community, we are concerned & glad to offer our support & best wishes. Why are so many posters so grumpy is a question I have.

[Dusty_Star]

Sorry to hear of your injury, hope it heals quickly.

Best wishes for a quick recovery. Good reminder for the rest of us to warm up and stretch.

[tophcfa]

Pickleball is an starving orthopedist’s dream come true.

Along with softball, soccer, tennis, water skiing, basketball, beach volleyball, etc…. We are friggin old and injury prone. That’s why I stick to lap swimming, bike riding, golf, corn hole, and yard work. I’d rather give stuff up and be able to keep active than try to re-live my glory days and wind up on the shelf.

[JMintzer]

When the sin is sweet,. repentance is not so bitter.

[Burgy]

since it popped you may have torn the ligament off the heel bone which could be diagnosed by X-ray or MRI. This might be helped by an orthotic boot or insert long term to promote healing. See an ortho or podiatrist.

[OhioBuckeye]

Oh no, age will get you every time!

[psjordan]

I knew what it was right away. A partial tear in my Plantar Fascia...
I did the same a few years back, playing indoor box lacrosse. Sounded just like when tearing up old carpet - that ripping sound. Pretty much last play of the game as well. Was barely able to drive home.

Took quite awhile to heal, only surprise to me was that they wanted me to start stretching exercises right away. Of course I'm sure you know that. Mine was a "decide between surgery or extended rehab" kind of tear, and I opted for rehab. Don't recall exact timing, but it seemingly took forever to heal with no pain. I wish you good luck and hope it was a minor partial tear, if such a thing exists.

It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

I think duct tape will work better.

[Laker14]

I play quite a bit of PB, and have been fighting nagging injuries all winter. The one thing that really astounds me is the number of people who play PB without eye protection. The one place on the human body where a pickleball can cause really serious damage, is the naked, unprotected eye.
A foul tip off of one's own racket, or one's partner's racket send the ball eyeward faster than a blink.
Just crazy. People have lost the vision in a struck eye, permanently.

Surgery to repair the plantar fascia is rarely done. In fact, one of the treatments for chronic fasciitis is to do a surgical "release" of the fascia. That's when you cut is free from the heel bone and let it re-heal in an extended position...

Have you hard of Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy?(EMTT).
or Extracoreal Pulse Activation Therapy (EPAT)
or Shockwave Treatment?
I am being treated for Plantar Fasciitis with all 3 of these. I haven't completed all 3 sessions - but after 1 session (of all 3) - huge improvements.
If you are interested - the doctor is Dr. Gegaj - in Lake Sumter Landing. He treated his shredded Achilles Tendon - and is now playing soccer again. He's a very athletic Dr. and strives to get people back on the court - I am a pickleball players as well. Hope this helps. :BigApplause:

I popped a handful of Motrin, and I've spent the afternoon with and ice bag on my heel and the foot elevated. No sign or bruising or swelling (which is good), but it hurts like a sumbich when I first get up to walk...

I had to cancel our golf game this afternoon...

I could have sworn someone said that Pickelball was better than golf...

Hopefully, I'll be able to play golf when my daughter and son in law arrive tomorrow evening. We have a tee-time at Evans Prairie on Wednesday...

Well, at least I'll be able to take the cart...

That injury comes from doing something athletic and not stretching prior. You should never go barefoot, stretch your feet, pulling toes towards abdomen before you get out of bed. High arch people are prone to this problem and it can last for months. No substitute for stretching, good arch support and keeping a reasonable weight.

My first full day back in TV and I went to play Pickelball with the wife. 5 minutes into our 2nd game, I felt something "pop" in my right arch, close to the heel...

"The wife???" She isn't an object. That's how you would refer to "the table." How about using her name?

"The Wife" does not like to use social media and doesn't want her name plastered all over the innerwebs...

Be thankful I didn't use some of the other names I call her (under my breath...)

I completely tore my plantar fascia when I was playing pickleball. I heard a loud snap when I landed on my foot and then intense pain. I could not put any weight on my foot. My podiatrist put me in a boot to keep the ligament from reattaching. He said we don't really need it! After 2 months I was back to playing Pickleball again (with an orthotic insert), although it took about 8 months for me to be able to walk barefoot in the house without pain. Good luck!

LOL! I honestly -DO- appreciate all of the advice, since I know people are just trying to help...

But yeah, It's does drive me a bit bonkers when people don't read the thread before posting...
However, in the initial post, the OP did Not mention that he’s a podiatrist! If he had, people wouldn’t have responded the way they did.

I don’t have a problem with using “the wife”; to me it can be used in meaning like “the Queen” “the Boss” etc “the Wife” or I suppose “the maid” just means a special person.

You can satisfy the other poster by making up a name for the wife. How about Sarsaparilla?

In my house (oops, did I say "my" house?), The Wife prefers to be referred to as "She Who Must Be Obeyed", so I go with that.

OP, sorry for your injury. Quit softball and pickleball because of various injuries occurring more frequently than I liked to deal with them. You might say “aged myself out of play.” Sooner or later it happens to all of us. As you know, one can play and enjoy golf much longer even with the aging process and prior injuries. Unfortunately the fountain of youth has yet to be found!

schedule a few foot stretching exercises, take 2 aspirins, and post us in the morning. You'll be as good as new

On my last visit a friend did the same thing game one, it ended in surgery. I hope you fare better. Be well my friend.

Well they say Dr heal thyself so wonder if our favorite podiatrist can self operate? Hopefully no surgery is required.

This thread is really showing how many posters don't read the whole thread before posting. Either that or reading comprehension is as bad as the driving around here.

I never read the entire thread before posting. I respond to a post at the time I read that post. It doesn't make sense to me to begin reading a thread that maybe a few pages long then have to go back to the beginning to respond to posts that I wanted to respond to when I read them the first time. It is not only this forum but all forums that I respond as I read.

It would be more precise to say, "Dr heal thy heel..."

But it is feeling a bit better. I was able to play 18 holes today... The only time it really hurt was when climbing out of the damn sand traps...

But that's on me...

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me.

Of course, a lot of posts are unfortunately written in the currently popular 'word salad' style, which makes them pretty much unintelligible.

Hummm, I certainly have no business giving anyone any kind of "medical" advice but.... seems like just one day of rest off feet might not be enough ? Hope just the one day does it, best wishes !

Rest, what’s that? Will have plenty of time to rest when dead.

I was diagnosed with plantar a year ago on one foot. I told the doc I was sitting indian style legs crossed and putting several hours of stress on the foot that ended up having it. He prescribed me with expensive inserts and said plantar/inserts can be a lifelong thing like needing glasses. I still wear the inserts the few times I wear shoes outside, and any pain I once had has been gone a few months after seeing him and never returned. I've done heavy calf raises in my workouts since HS (long ago!) so my arches have always been strong, but I'm just more careful with how I sit and what kind of stress I may be putting on my feet. I try not to lean on them for hours while sitting and just keep them relaxed when not on them.

Well, it has been 5 days... Woke up this am, pain rated 2-3/10. Played 18 holes (@ Lopez) and it felt much better... Hardly limping...
