Sounds like good old fashioned plantar fasciitis there scoob. If it's not too sore or swollen, get onto a rolling pin and roll your whole foot hard. Then get on the ground and just start massaging it hard for a good 5 minutes with your hands. For this bit, you want to do it in both a dorsiflexed and plantar flexed position. Work out all the little pops and bubbles (scar tissue), then you can ice. Also, I found having a splint on for a few hours while you rest or while you sleep really helps it heal faster. Get a pair of knee-high socks and put them on like this:



This is the best cure, take it from someone who's had it on both feet. Avoid sprinting but you can probably lift fine provided you can walk on it without limping.

Yeah the sock is just acting as a splint to keep it slightly dorsiflexed. It'll feel weird at first and you'll probably kick it off during the night but even a few hours will help. The theory is that it allows immune cells/fibroblasts etc to better infiltrate the tissue when its stretched and heal faster, might be a placebo more than anything but it helped me. Definitely massage your lower calves as well, it's probably tightness around that area from all the plyos and jumps pulling on your fascia.

Maybe the reason for the pain is because you sprinted recently, and you weren't used to it.

I have to agree with Acole on this! I get very mild cases from time to time when I jump a ton in a short span (think days on end with no rest). whats always worked is scaling back jumping/pylos and, depending in severity, lightening work load in the weight room. Full out rest sounds good in theory but ive had better results personally using the methods acole suggested.


Strong post Acole!

Did the sock method yesterday night. stretching masaaging the calf and pasused jump training.

seems like the condition is grtting worse. 
I use to be able to by pass the pain by walking off bed on my toe avoiding pressure at the heel.

today I did that after my afternoon nap and pain appear even when i am walking on the tip of my toe....

shzt

it ease down slightly as time pass

Well it's not a magic cure mate. Rest is still the major factor in healing injury. Plantar injuries suck because unless you can lie in bed for a week, you're walking on it every day at work or whatever. If you're still jumping on it less than a week afterwards then it'll delay the healing process. Any stretching of the arch/fascia will continue to aggravate the inflammation/degeneration at the heel. So you gotta treat that first and get it under control.

Another tip I forgot to mention is if you have rehbands or voodoo bands (or save yourself $30 and cut a $3 inner tube lengthways) you can do the voodoo wrapping technique as shown here:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drTxhTcvLgU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drTxhTcvLgU</a>

This helps clear out swelling/inflammation and promote blood flow in combination with ice and/or NSAIDs. My advice is try everything!

I'd also check your arches...I had pretty flat feet in general, and every time I played intense basketball or sprinted or did anything aerobic, my heel would absolutely be wrecked. It felt sensitive, and like there was lead inside. Just was really heavy and anytime any regular pressure was applied (while walking), it would just flare in pain for hours afterward.

Long story short, I had custom orthodics made to give me some support and slightly correct my arches. Worked wonderfully, within 2 weeks I was pain-free (and have been for 3-4 years now).

Just something to check on.

The pain comes and goes..
and it surely appear as more intense.. after like heavy calf training.

the pain is worse after some mild full court basketball.

I had rested for a week and It did not get better or worse.

( i use to wear custom make insert due to flat foot but stopped for  many yrs.  I could not fit the insole with ankle wrap in basketball sneaker)

i am going to try some yoga stretch to see if i can fix this.

This must be one night mare injury that stop me from following Raptor routine training toward my first slamdunk.....  Fuxk me.
