Sadly, Hootie isn't going anywhere...

I've had a plantar wart. That ****er hurt.

It didn't really look to me like the bottom of Larry's foot was the part that got injured, BTW. That's where the plantar ligament is. It looked to me like the top and side of Larry's foot got wrenched and twisted, which would mean a sprain or maybe some cartilage got ****ed or something.

Plantar Fasciitis is something that is more chronic and related to long term standing and weight bearing.

It's much more likely that it's a Lis Franc injury. That's the injury that pretty much ended Duce Staley's career, but Kevin Jones only missed a year...but those are Lis Franc Fractures and dislocations

From wiki:

At present, such an injury happens typically when one steps into a hole and the foot twists heavily. Falling from a height of two or three stories can also cause this fracture. American football players commonly get this injury when they have their foot pointing down and someone lands on their heel. There are also other ways of receiving such an injury.

Treatment

Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2mm, the fracture can be managed with a POP(plaster of Paris) or dynacast for 6 weeks. The patient's injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, percutaneous screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture. Again, the patient's injured limb cannot bear weight. The screws/k-wires must be removed before weight bearing.

This looks like what happened to Larry, unfortunately:

WOW. I never knew there were SOOOOOOOO many doctors on here. Sweet.




Freakin' know-it-alls. :)

2-3 weeks?

Can we come out on the plus side of...

vs. Donkeys
at Indy
vs. Raiders


Can we go 2-1 without him?

I see you've been breaking down game film again.

I've had PF for years, and sometimes when I get up in the morning I have to hop around until it stretches out. However, there are special inserts for your shoes, which can be obtained from a podiatrist. If you use the inserts it's not a problem. Mind you, I could run like a deer when I was young and in the Airborne and Special Forces. Now I'm 65 and a little slower, but the PF is not a big problem with the inserts.

Could we have gone 2-1 WITH him???

Point taken.

It's not like we've had much of a run game anyway.

Our D will get us to 2-1.

I'm telling what my dad told me, and he's a board certified physician.

I believe you. Since when can they do an examination/diagnosis THROUGH A TV SCREEN? That's all I'm sayin'.
