RE: It all comes down to sleep...

Man, you got a handfull there! Think of it on the bright side though, you're probably fitter than most people at your age! Potato couches don't have that much overuse injuries, but they have a host of metabolic stuff that you're probably rid of. Sleep is paramount for sure, especially for rehab! I can't talk much on most of your injuries, but I can tell you what worked like a charm for plantar fasceitis: get a golf ball, and roll it under your feet while you're sitting. You can do it multiple times a day, it normally helps to relax the foot very quick, and in my case the fasceitis was gone really fast!
PS. check a book called Outlive, by Petter Attia: a ton of useful information health related, especially as our 20s seem farther away.

Get well soon! !BBH

Hahaha, it's so hard to strike that right balance of fit without being injured... but I'd certainly prefer to have overuse injuries than metabolic stuff for sure.

I've heard of the golf ball trick for my heels before, but I didn't actually realize it was supposed to be a relaxing thing, I thought it was more like a painful massage, so I had only tried it once while I was standing. I'll try it again while I'm sitting and see how that goes. Thanks!

It can be relaxing or painful, depending on how hard you do it! :)) For me the advantage is that is a really easy fix, and one you can do almost everywhere. Let me know if you try it!
