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.

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.

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.

JM, I feel for you, and best wishes for a good recovery. .
Sports injuries are the worst, cause of the memory of younger days :swear: :swear:

but on the good side, at least you can bill for your own services! :duck: :duck:

and as far as the TOTV medical advice, everyone's an expert with experiences. . . its the nice part of TOTV as there are so many posters all with great life experiences, and all mean well. .

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...[/QUOTE

… did you confuse us with a Dr. visit??? If so, your copay to me is $150 … and you are behind on your account… is says here … $2000.

… sorry … hope you rebound soon!!!

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:

How long have you been treated for talking to a mirror, and writing down the mirrors responses? I know a doctor who can treat you for that, only thing is he kind of sorta started to do the same thing.
