With Jason Taylor's condition, we could be in some serious trouble defensively. While I was in the Army, I had plantar faciatis, which is really nothing more than heel spurs and I was out of action physical for almost 6 months...No PT, no running of my soldiers, nothing. It sucked to the highest level of sucktivity!!! This can be an excritiating ailment depending on how bad your condition is. I underwent physical therapy for 6 months, using electrical anti-inflammatory treatment and it was still painful to just walk, let alone run. I certainly hope that the Miami trainers and sports physicians are able to use the most modern of treatments to get Taylor back to playing condition as soon as possible
 
We are in some serious trouble defensively regardless...But your right...Without Jason we are doomed! Unless Roth gets pissed enough to start dominating...Maybe we should nickname him Matt Banner?
 
I too, had plantar fasciatis. It wasn't until the doctor gave me a shot of cortisone that I finally rid myself of it.

My doctor had told me that was the last thing he wanted to do because, in his words, the only other alternative after that was surgery. Now that you mention the shot, my wife had the same thing, the doc gave her the shot of cortezone and she felt fine in a day or two...but ooooooooooooo, that shot made her cry it was so painful
 
Those cortisone shots are suppose to be extremely painful, everyone that I know that ever had one says it is like hell.

Excuse my ignorance, but I take it that this isn't your ordinary shot in the arm??
 
I've had it too from racquetball. It was most excruciating first thing in the morning. Better arch support in my shoes and proper stretching of the plantar fascia cured it for after a couple months.

They put it in your hip area, or at least thats were mine went. It is kind of painful but not as bad as made out here IMO.

I've had it too. Fortunately for me, I just did some PT and it was back to normal. No cortisone shots needed.

I have to disagree with the heel spurs comment. While I'm no doctor (and don't play one on TV and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night), the plantar fascia is the ligament along the bottom of the foot and it's irritation or tear doesn't necessarily have anything to do with bone spurs. There could be numerous sources of the inflammation or tears.

In Jason Taylor's case, the shot would go directly under the heel....extremely painful as that's where the inflammation is...

Point taken however in my case, the spur from the heel was pressing against the inflammed ligments and tendons. That form of faciatis is the most common with soldiers...and I am only assuming it's similar with JT...but then again, I could be wrong...

The sad truth is I expect he will get much better treatment as an athlete than you got as a soldier.
