Ed1 do you see Sakho and Henderson making Wednesday mate?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, I wouldn't hold my breath though. Difficult one with Hendo, as his injury is not really treatable.}

Hendo has plantar faciitis, which is the large tendon that runs along the sole of your foot. Ed is right that it can't really be treated but you can do plenty of foot stretching exercises which do help sometimes. The pain moves around your foot from your arch to your big toe but is at its worst on your heel, very difficult to put any sort of weight on your foot at all. I beleive Hendo might be getting some sort on injections that will eventually rupture his heel and then the pain goes (so they say) . I have had it since May last year, better now than its ever been but still can be sore after football. Its a pain in the ass.

Carragher had the same injury and said when he ruptured the tendon and it healed the pain went away. It can't be medically treated and just because it worked for carra doesn't mean it will work for henderson.

There is a podcast about his injury (not sure if i'm alowed to send the link) a sports science therapist goes into detail on Hendo''s injury, it's worth a listen, but Rover is spot on in short.

{Ed001's Note - yes you can link it mate.}

I had plantar fasciitis for approximately 9 months. I tried everything possible to ease the pain and discomfort in the heel. Spent a fortune on treatment and seeing specialists in Harley Street to no avail. After 9 months it suddenly left me. Year on it hasn't returned. Hate to say it and hope I'm wrong but he could be out for a while.

Had to make an account just to comment on this.
I have had Plantar Fascilitis in both my feet at the same time, it came about because of work/ football.
Technically you can't rest or do too much as both can cause more problems. My physio described the problem as like "noodles when wet they stretch and can move about but when dry (not active) become hard the trouble is once dry if you do too much you will make tiny tears and cause more problems".
I'm younger than Hendo and don't have access to the medical staff and physios like he has but i have not played football in over a year as i cannot put my health ahead of work etc, (left 2 jobs in 2015) as far as I'm aware the cortisone injections are only a short term fix, as he is obviously an expensive asset to not be playing is a problem but long term they may cause weakening in his foot/ heel and i was advised to not have them. In my opinion he will either have to be out for a long time or be managed to play certain games whilst never getting over it completely, his running style no doubt causes his feet to take a top heavy load when he plants down whilst in stride.
I was at the Watford and Sunderland games he did not look comfortable, i actually feel very sorry for him but if they manage him correctly he shouldn't pick up and complications, i personally have ruptured my achilles bursa and have slight back/ hip problems due to the plantar Fascilitis but the injury is manageable if he the club and fans are patient.

I'm concerned about this burst witch. We need her back on her broomstick asap or it spells trouble for us.
