If true, and I'm sure it is, then I wonder if this could have been affecting his game and maybe even mental state. I've got PF and it hurts, couldn't imagine playing D1 basketball on it. Wonder if he tried to hide it for a bit and was in pain and it came across as not being ready.
How long have you had it because I can give you a quick plan of action to cure it if you need it. Rest doesn't do it.
Give it to us. Mine ebbs and flows. If I run it aggravates it.
Yep, the one thing you have to remember about it is if its has stiffened and you step on it and you feel pain, you are reaggravating it or reinjuring it. So take note of anytime or pattern that you feel pain. For me it was after basketball activity or when I woke up in the morning.
Before you take a step after sitting down post activity or getting out of bed you gotta stretch it. I used a tennis ball but someone once told me something softer like a racquetball. Keep it with you. You stretch it by rolling the ball across the muscle until it feels loose again. Have 2 or 3 balls. If you work at a desk, roll it there. Sitting on the couch, computer, table, keep rolling. But especially when its stiff.
A more expensive option that I did the first time when it was severe was go to this store that Im trying to google and it may have been called Baumer's (it may have been called Birkenstock at time). Its a little shoe store by the Mercedes dealership on Poplar but before you get to the expressway. I bought this shoe called the Bostonian. It was like $200 but wow. It had a really high hump right in the PF area and gave you great support. If you can wear that when stiff, that helps too.
And lastly, the muscle is inflammed. For that if you dont have any fears about pills, take 800 mg of ibuprofen (4 pills) about 3 times a day. You can do this for a week while treating the muscle. My sister is a doctor and she told me it was ok to do this.
I have done these things before after having it twice and it was gone in a week or less after being in pain for months the first time and weeks the second time. The first time I pretty much only used the shoe. The second time I used the ball/ibuprofen.
