Hi guys!
I guess nobody really cares but I'm gonna update this after anything that happens with my foot.
Some background info: Ever since I was seven I've had heel pains but it got worse at the beginning of my lacrosse season. I've had them when I'm switching sports but it was worse and never went away. My mom is a physical therapist and booted me for 3 or 4 weeks. it helped for a little but once we started progressions with running, it went right back to pain. We finally went to ortho and the doctor told me physical therapy and back in two weeks.

This is where today comes in. I went back to the doctor this morning and they're sending me for an MRI and booting me for at least a month. I'm kinda nervous and it's scheduled for August 4th. I play soccer and pre-season for highschool(I'm a freshman) and I haven't missed a season since I was 5. I really don't want to miss it but we'll see.

I'll update when I get the boot. If you made it this far, thanks!

Sorry if this is a little blunt but I don’t know how to phrase it. 😂 I hope your foot heals, so get well soon I guess? Keep on doing your best and giving it your all to be able to play the sports that you love. Just remember that it is okay to take breaks to take care of yourself. I kinda sound like a mom now but I wish you the best!

lemonlime0 thanks so much!
Update: Ortho is sending my boot through the mail for some reason so it will be here on Tuesday. They say that I have to wear it every step I take so we'll see how that goes. I emailed my soccer coach and found out that pre-season starts the 17th but I don't know if ill is able to play until the 18th. That pretty much means I have no time to get in touch to shake off any rust that I have. So I'll probably get cut 😭 or I won't be able to play 😭. Again thanks if you are reading this, have a good day! See you next time!

i’m so sorry to hear! I hope your heal gets better. last year i had bad heal problems, i had to wear these braces but i could still play soccer. i really hope that’s the same for you! after a few months it finally got better. i promise it will get better. Also don’t doubt your ability on the field yes you may be a bit rusty, but watching soccer on tv and things like that will help you get better without moving! just remember half of the game is mental the other half is physical do take the time to get your mental part strengthened. Also Alex Morgan was playing for the US woman’s national team and sprained her ankle and she was out for months but when she came back she came back more determined and a different drive because she realized how much she loved the sport and should never take it for granted! i really hope you feel better and this helps! i’m always here to talk if you need a fellow soccer playing and fellow freshmen high school soccer player😂

@kerrs thanks! It's nice to know that someone else has gotten through it. As I said it has been happening for a while and they put me in braces two years ago, but they didn't help me. Hopefully, there's something else they can do 😊

@SavannaL THanks!
Update: I got my boot today and that's pretty much it lol. Sorry if this is boring. It should be a little more interesting after my MRI results come back.
