Marcus Camby Out 2-4 With Plantar Fasciitis

It wasn't that long ago I blogged about New York Knicks' center Marcus Camby and his strained plantar fascia.
Last Friday the Knicks announced that Camby would be out 2-4 weeks because of an injured left foot. Camby had an MRI which revealed a strain left plantar fascia. He reinjured the ligament in the loss last Thursday against Indiana, a game which coach Mike Woodson said was the best he'd seen the veteran play all year. Camby landed awkwardly after a layup attempt early in the third quarter and did not return to the game.
Camby missed much of the early season with the injury but had moved to a starting position as power forward on Christmas Day and was starting to shake off the cobwebs he had gotten in his time off.
"It's another setback, but we've got to keep it moving," Woodson said. "We'll get him back rehabbed again and then try to get him out on the floor when we can."
Camby left the Knicks' locker room Thursday night in a walking boot and crutches. "I did something to my foot again like I did earlier in the year... I drove and felt a sharp pain in the bottom of my foot similar to before," Camby told reporters.
We cannot stress enough how important it is to rest and rehab when you have plantar fasciitis or a plantar fascia injury. If you have a job where you are on your feet a majority of the day, ignoring the pain and prolonging a visit to a podiatrist will only increase the pain. Don't suffer in pain!
If you are experiencing heel pain, call our Rocky Hill or Middletown office to make an appointment.
