My 12 year old son was first told he had an open growth plate in his heel & then told he has plantar fasciitis. He has never had xray done. One foot does hurt more than the other. You can see a difference in the arches in each foot. He has been in physical therapy for the plantar fasciitis for a month now & the streching has helped(his calfs were very tight too). He does have some relief. I was recently told he is too young to have plantar fasciitis. He plays both basketball & football. Is there a definate determining factor in figuring out which he has?
Thank you |
