Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is a relatively common cause of pain in the inferior patellar region in athletes. It begins as inflammation in the patellar tendon where it attaches to the patella and may progress by tearing or degenerating the tendon. Overuse injury from repetitive overloading of the extensor mechansism of the knee. Microtears exceed the body's healing mechanism unless the activity is stopped. Occurs in many athletes, but is most common in sports such as soccer, volleyball, or basketball which require explosive movements. Early stages may be treated conservatively. Uncommonly may require surgery to remove myxoid degeneration in the tendon. This is reserved for patients with debilitating pain for 6-12 months despite conservative measures.

Athletes foot is caused by a fungus so once u kill the fungus it will be gone but u also have to treat all the shoes and socks that were worn while it was active.

sports medicine is simply the medical needs, special procedures, and/or special medicines for athletes.  since athletes require faster healing or more short term remedies due to their profession, treating them requires a different expertise.\n\nhope that helped you out!

It's not a matter of favorites.  Different brands cater to different foot shapes and problems.  Do your feet roll in or out when you run?  Do you have knee problems or high arches?  A full-service athletic shoe store clerk should be able to help you find the type that will work best for your physical anatomy.

Watch Basketball players playing defense.  They're practically on their toes so they can react instantly to what the guy with the ball does.  Being flat footed is the opposite.  You can't react as fast, and the ball will be by you before you can react.  "Being caught flat footed" means being unable to respond quickly enough.

That's plantar fascitis which means inflammationn of the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot. Reducing inflammation and easing stress on the fascia is the cure. Taking ibuprofen and adding heel pads to well made shoes such as walking shoes and wearing them all the time should help.

With athletes foot the problem is because its a fungus the spores live in your socks, shoes and carpets... basically anywhere your feet have been! So the best plan is to carry on treating it for at least 5 days after your symptoms have disappeared. Then switch to an antifungal powder which you can use on a regular basis to keep it at bay :-)

What does this have to do w/ basketball?\nAnd to answer the question, the foot size doesn't matter, It's the amount of nerves in the foot and the sensitivity of the nerve endings.

You have to make sure your shower, bath mat, shoes and socks have been treated/washed as well. They carry the bacteria so even if you are treating your feet, if you are still showering or using the infected surfaces (bath mat, shower, shoes etc) then the fungus wont go away. If you have cleaned everything and you still cant get rid of the fungus, id go to a doctor just to make sure it really is athletes foot and not something else.

okay what you have is tinea pedis and that is the technical name for athletes foot,,,you might want to treat the foot withn topical fungicidal medicaition or get something prescribed orally, keep the foot clean and dry if you can, you can use spray deodarent to keep it dry,,,if you want an alternative solution, you can use tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract from the health food stores, also eat some garlic daily it is a known antifungal agent, good luck
