Physioroom know fuck all.Physioroom.com says 2nd November so fingers crossed he will make an appearance for NLD.
Thats bad.... From what I know, it comes down how bad the membrane is - if there's a tear or not. I know its not uncommon for pro athletes - its a needle pinching like pain at the heel. Rest is important - condition can reoccur. Some pros play through with severe pain. I guess Surgery is last option for pros, as I have heard it really delays recovery period.
If this report is true, I pray this is just a mildest form of the injury & not recurring one.
He's already been out for a month, should we worry?If our medical team think rest is all he needs then I'd start to worry. Orthotics and custom made to measure (as I'd assume they already are) boots are what should be advised. I see and treat this dozens of times a week. Its very common and very easily treated. Surgery is only required in a very extreme case and wouldn't be recommended for an athlete.
No but I think we should prepare for a long term injury..He's already been out for a month, should we worry?

I would hope not. Surgery and a long term absense would only be required if the problem wasn't actually PF but a heel spur (ironic eh). They are probably just being overly careful. Effectively the problem may lie in the make up of Sons foot and ensuring the plantar fascia isn't stretched beyond its limits, resulting in micro tears of the soft tissue which causes the inflammation and therefore the pain. This is generally pretty easily solved with orthotics (insoles) which would be created and a prescription made specifically to the spec the podiatrist would give. 'normal' patients are generally advised to wear these in gradually as too much correction may cause problems elsewhere in knees/hips etc. The fact they would be used in elite sports probably means the 'wearing in' process is being implemented slower. Sorry for the boring and tedious post but I'd hope that's the case. PF shouldn't be anything long term if the correct treatment is used. Lots of doctors etc advocate steroid injections but this doesn't correct the root cause and is often a temporary measure.
Let's hope he's back soon!
so is he fully fit now ?
I'd imagine so, he's played twice for Korea in the break.so is he fully fit now ?
Scored 1, assisted 2.I'd imagine so, he's played twice for Korea in the break.
