Well, from what I understand, it can be temporarily resolved by resting, right? That's what I was getting at. It will certainly come back, but isn't it possible that he is able to get through a season? It's less resting and more that sometimes it hurts to the point you can't run or walk on it and you have no choice but to scale back or stay off your feet. Physical activity can definitely exacerbate it, but it's not really "healed" or lessened by rest; you can spend a month being as careful as possible and then you go for a jog and it flares up again. You're basically at its mercy, and from what I've heard Noah's got it pretty bad.
