Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

I’ve had it a couple times two… played through it in the past but this last round it was much worse and the only way it got better was no basketball at all for like 6 weeks… no running or heavy leg days… it was a bitch.

Any foot issue with a dude that size is alarming.

When i had it i tried everything. I slept in a boot at night. I used the frozen water bottle trick and tennis ball (roll them under your foot), tried orthotics, i even got cortisol injections in my foot (holy **** that was painful).
Thing that ended up working for me? Altra running shoes. That was it. Same with my sister. She had bad plantar fasciitis too and tried a bunch if stuff. I bought her a pair of altras and it went away. Altras are the only shoes that her and I ever wear anymore. I have like 8 pairs
My dad just bought his first pair about a month ago.

Would rep... I use Hokas and they certainly help... will try a pair of Altras.

I tried the foot strap/boot thing and would rip it off in the middle of the night. Ice helped... got an insert too which helped... but I really had to quit playing basketball for 5-6 weeks straight for it to really heal.

A cool thing about them is that its a utah company (park city based iirc) and they name their shoes after utah mountains. Lone peak, kings peak, timpanogas, etc. some of the shoes even have utah mountains on them.

They have lots of styles but I typically buy the ones with aggressive tread on the soles. I use them for hiking and fishing and literally never wear any other shoe unless im playing basketball or im hiking in snow.

I love buying local Utah products. Just ordered a new pickleball racket from a SLC based company, Salted City Sports, with the Jazz mountain uniform design on it.

Thanks man. I need to tone it down sometimes though (like last night with Steve).
Need to try to be better to people in general. Life is hard. No need to make it harder on anyone.

I often feel like a hypocrite cause at night when i pray at my daughters bed after getting home from work at midnight i always end it with “please help everyone just be a little bit kinder to each other” and then i come on the internet and be a dick to people i dont even know for no reason.

Its also kind of hypocritical that i even pray being that i dont really believe in a God. (Im agnostic)
