Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4410490, member: 6677"] I know nothing specific about Azzi's foot injury. My daughter had a stress fracture in one of the bones in her foot, probably based on some inherent orthopedic issues and the result of high impact exercise routines that she loved. Since she is on her feet a lot as a nurse, she had to figure out a way to manage the pain and still work. Since she was not an athlete, she opted for a long term treatment approach that consisted of the use of orthotics to better distribute the load in the bones in her feet and cutting out high impact workouts rather than surgery. Took the better part of a year before she was pain free. She will continue to use orthotics as the alternative to foot surgery to address the structural issues in her foot anatomy. I am not saying that Azzi has the same problem at all. Rather, this is an example of how one might deal with foot issues and what treatment options may be on the table for Azzi moving forward. It seems like that whatever her foot problem is, simple rest and rehabilitation will not correct it so she is faced with the prospect of surgery now and missing the season or managing the pain through the season and having the surgery to correct whatever the problem is in the offseason. It may be wise to temper our expectations for her this season. [/QUOTE]
