This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Popped mine playing softball several years ago. by cmhirish
At least it felt like a pop. Like you, did not have an MRI. Doc listened, examined, and prescribed PT and insoles. I think it took close to 6 weeks before I could walk at a normal pace without symptoms; running or even jogging were out of the question for a couple more months.
Get committed to that PT. Don't skimp. (Mine was similar to the link - YRMV).
The first pair of insoles I had were half-soles that didn't stay in place and were worthless. Superfeet Blue Insoles remedied that issue.
I had a relapse of sorts, although not as severe, ~14 mos after the initial incident. Wasn't using any inserts at the time. Got back on the PT, recovered, and have used the Superfeet inserts ever since. Been symptom-free for 5+ years. Good luck.
