PCers have a great attitude
PCers have a great attitude
It is “do all you can, as long as you can despite the pain!” We definitely cheer that approach. However, stories from young PCers (those age 12 and under) who have mild plantar pain and few cysts or other PC symptoms may seem to show you can just be ‘tougher than PC.’ That approach is not the most effective, since when full grown, PC pain will increase to the point that being tough isn’t enough. It’s important that youth develop and find ‘off the feet’ activities and skills. Most PCers are very, very high achievers and find a way to excel although PC pain has a definite impact on quality of life. That’s a whole story in itself!
