Mason Confirms King Playing With Ruptured Plantar Fascia

[BELMORE]

A ruptured plantar fascia (simplistically the ligaments/tendons that connect your toes to your heel) is not a common injury, generally it happens to people with flat feet deformity. Basketballers are also likely sufferers. Like anything foot related it takes a long time (months) to heel and requires rest during recovery. To keep playing would require pain killers, strapping and foot support (orthotics) in the footy boots. Surgery isn't commonly required, unless there is a heel spur which requires surgical removal of the bone spur. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't doing much training, to give it a better chance to heel, maybe upper body only.

From memory this is our 3rd foot recent related stress injury, RFM (bone fractures), Thompson (lisfranc) and now King. All different parts of the foot though. Is there a common factor at work here?


Always a Bulldog

Belmore field cut too short.

I believe the common factor is that they all have feet. Toe count is yet to be confirmed for those 6 feet though. Kotoni Staggs may have that answer.

Mucho respecto el rey!

This guy is earning his pay cheque. TPJ and Thommo should be buying this guy drinks every weekend.

Tell me about it! Thommo’s a weak gutted dog for not playing on with a busted foot.

I haven’t listened yet.. but I’d say that he’s getting needled weekly to play. Maybe some physios in here can better explain it but plantar fascia injuries means it would usually be hard to run and even walk at times. What a warrior.

Not a physio but having researched it a bit because I’ve had some minor irritation from it, it can be pretty bad when severe, as it’s like a band (fascia) of muscle (or maybe ligament) that goes from the bottom of the heel, to the forefoot, so it’s pretty important. Ruptured PF I assume equals pain mostly.

Its a shocking complaint. Comes on you at any time and only relieved by rest. The pain is sharp and putting weight on your foot walking is incredible. How is is playing with that injury is incredible.

It’s annoying hey? Mine has never been too bad, but at it’s worst it’s a weird aching feeling. You want to massage it thinking it will feel good but it does nothing. Mine is probably from rarely wearing proper shoes. It’s a bad habit I need to change.

It usually comes on you a bit later in life. Gotta feel so sorry for Max that he has it already. It never really goes away and can come back months later for no apparent reason.

Heaps of people at golf have it.

 

[chihuahua dog]

She’s fucking gorgeous too don’t know how he’s doing it

He'll nut in seconds the first time he gets to explore that properly hahaha

 

[NQ Dog]

I would just shut him down and let him recover. He is giving his efforts to halves in Kyle Flanagan and Burton which is a complete waste from King considering how shit both are. Think long term here

I wouldn't say Burto is shit but as a 6 he has a long way to go.

 

[Hotdog]

Only a matter of time till he goes down haha

On the field or on his misus?… no sex can do strange things to a man

 

[Punchbowl Dog]

Sounds like a relatively minor tear, I’ve had a partial tear, bastard of an injury stopped me running for 5 months. Rupture usually means full tear. Best treatment imo sit on chair and roll heel over ice bottle, hours every day. Also had tear at toe end of ligament, heals fairly quickly. Good luck to Max, he’s got the best people looking after him.

 

[Scoooby]

Respect for King. As good as gold !!

 

[MatstaDogg]

No sex paying off

Taking his frustration out on the field.

This is what BULLDOG DNA is. You *****.

 

[senshidog]

Absolute legend Kingy is. We need to see more of him on Bulldogs socials though

Also Dogs should give Nu Brown some creative freedom whilst recovering as his media stuff is excellent.

Yep done the ice bottle before and I have also done the tennis ball too. Work in office and used to have a tennis ball underneath my desk, would do the back and forth while I worked. But mine was not a complete rupture. From memory I think the tennis ball was supposed to help with the scar tissue buildup. Got mine from running, the tennis ball trick was what kept me running.
