| YES! My son (15 years old) had a bout of this during football! The Dr. said ibuprophen (if you can take it) is the best medication for this. He was taking 4 pills 4 times a day for about 4 days, then just twice a day for about 4 or 5 more days. It finally went away, but it was pretty painful. He has kind of flat feet. I thought maybe that had something to do with it, but the dr said no.
The Dr also told him to get a sturdy pair of shoes, like Red Wings or something. HA! Yeah right. Ever see a teenage boy wearing Red Wings or any other leather support shoes? Not unless they're made by Nike, Addidas, or Under Armor and you can play basketball in them. |
