AUIH1 1,515 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Unless Pettway is truly 100%, he should not play unless we are only using him on the goal line or short yardage situations. He is just a big, unathletic, slow, straight ahead fullback-type if he is not 100%. If we get inside the 5 then yes, he can be effective at less than 100%. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,748 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I honestly have no clue what's going to happen this weekend. I think if we can get past Clanga without injuries, making it to Amen Corner with just one loss is extremely achievable. How's Kerryon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarPigSooie 12 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Planter Fasciitis is just a nagging annoyance more than performance inhibiting injury. The only treatment is less use and rest, so it makes sense to me Gus rested him last week to be available for MSST. He will be in if KJ isn't gashing MSST.

I have it from time to time. A steroid injection, plus prednisone and cortisone tablets, along with exercises (rolling a piece of pipe,tennis ball, etc) will help tremendously. it has to be kept stretched out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like they are injecting Lava into the side of your foot. It does help though but it takes a few of weeks for it to fully go away in most cases. That said with the kind of attention I am sure he has been getting I would expect him back at full strength at some point this year. I would think at this point being off for a week he should be pretty good to go this week ( Not pain free but close enough to play and be effective).

bdc81 89 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There are long term consequences to corticosteroid use. Repetitive use in a potential NFL player would be poor judgement. Little doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while. I did it while trng for a hundred mile trail race, so it can be done. Yes- stretching or relaxing it is needed, address the swelling daily, light muscle conditioning is required to accelerate treatment and sleeping with tendons/muscles stretched is a must. They make funny, uncomfortable socks, but it works. No way you sleep thru the night. You have to be careful not to be too aggressive or you can tear soft tissue.. it does impact performance if you're an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
