Ok - as I mentioned in my last post - my foot started hurting last week. I didn't run on Friday or Saturday, figured if it hurt - I should rest it. I ran 5 miles on Sunday - although my foot hurt - it was doable. But once I stopped, I hobbled around for the rest of the day - it hurt. I put ice on it and took ibuprofen a couple times - woke up today still hobbling - and it still hurts.
Soooooo, I called for an appointment - Orthopedics could get me in next week, but I called my primary and was able to see her. I just got back from the Dr. - I had an X-ray and then came back to work and am waiting to hear the results. I am so hoping that Dr. Goggle and all of her Internet wisdom is WRONG. My suspicion is that it is a stress fracture of either the second or third metatarsal. But then again it might be a tendon pull or stretch, or what ever you might do to a tendon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I will report back with the results.
I am feeling old. ;-(
OH my fingers are crossed for a good outcome. I'm sure you know this, but most stress fractures don't show up on xrays, you need an MRI. So if it comes back negative and still hurts, I would push for the MRI. When I had my stress fracture back in September, the xray was fine, but the MRI showed major damage. Hoping for the best...
ReplyDeleteI am praying your research is WRONG!!!! Keep your chin up while you wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I do hope it's nothing...fingers and toes all crossed over here :)
