Stef's condition

[semper]

I just saw a tweet that says Stef has plantar fascitis, in addition to the stress fractures. I have had PF, and it is incredibly painful. The only way to cure it is to stay off your feet and you must have incredible arch support built into your shoes as well. I feel awful about this!

Arch supports certainly help. I have had prescription insoles ever since refereeing... But first, if I remember correctly, the inflammation must be reduced... I think icing helped a great deal in my case... Let's hope Stef can put up with it for the next three games and then rest...

Icing and some anti-inflamatories.

Get well soon Stef!

Morgan Valley had that, and it was painful.

Who tweeted that she has PF?

Who tweeted that she has PF?

Hope it isn't true........

Hope it isn't true........

Just found it. It was ESPN's Holly Rowe. None of the horde has reported Stef as having PF.

Both are very painful. Lets hope that she can play through the pain and that Stokes' condition does not prevent her from seeing more action this year. For UCONN to get to the championship Dolson needs to be on the floor. She is having an AA caliber year and makes UCONN a much better team.

Stef has said that playing yesterday was the most pain she's ever had in her life.

 

[Husky68]

Uconn can win vs. Kentucky with Stewart/Stokes/Heather at center. MJ plays starter minutes. If rest makes you better, have confidence in subs and sit her.

 

[McHuskyFan]

I've had PF, too ... in both feet. Ice & anti-inflammatories are your friends. The pain is terrible ... man, how I hated that first step out of bed in the morning. It was like stepping on needles Arch support, rest & losing weight were my keys to recovery.

Hang in there, Stef! We need you, kiddo !!

Didn't Morgan Valley suffer from PF?

 

[VAMike23]

I know I'm a broken record on this but at some point we're going to have to have Stokes doing what she is capable of doing, at least in the FF and possibly even tomorrow. Not for 40 mins but we are going to need her and she's going to have to deliver. Stef can't do it all at the moment and Stewie can't have it all on her shoulders in the middle for extended minutes going forward. She can take the middle when we go small but it's not something we can do too much.

Fingers are crossed....I know Kiah can be great. We've all seen it!

 

[Kait14]

I know it's not ideal but a cortisone shot would help come game time

 

[Kait14]

Didn't Morgan Valley suffer from PF?

Yep.. Diana had it as well

 

[semper]

Yeah, but isn't Kiah sick too...medical tests were discussed yesterday. This is a rough situation, folks.

 

[pap49cba]

Medical tests??

 

[Kait14]

Medical tests??

She had an MRI for a lower back issue

 

[easttexastrash]

Kiah or Stef? Haven't read this.

 

[semper]

Kiah, reported by Geno.

#UConn's Geno Auriemma said his team has done good job of realizing "there's a huge difference between being injured and being hurt."

I don't know how true it is but I heard the MRI was taken either right before or right after the Valpo game and the results came back good, so I don't think this will be an issue at all going forward.
