YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
So, I have 2 days left of PT for my knee.
2 days!
Tuesday & Thursday.
Then I'm done. Dismissed.
Adios, happy running.
And the knee feels good. Finally getting back to normal pain free running.
But, then today...
I decided that my left ankle pain wasn't going away like it should be. As a matter of fact it is down right painful, and I can't walk on it.
So.....
I had it x-rayed this afternoon.
I have bursitis of my ankle.
3 weeks of anti-inflammatories.
1 week of no running, then re-evaluation. Steroid shot at that time if not resolved along with a referral to an orthopedic specialist.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Oh no! Do you have ANY options to do any cross-training? Swimmming would AWESOME to keep your leg limber.
ReplyDeleteoh no!! try to make good use of the "down time" with cross training, lik,e firefly said swimming sounds good. ankle pain sucks i've been there before.
ReplyDeleteI feel your frustration RG! Hang in there though, a couple of weeks off may be just the tonic to get evrything right again. HA - says me, who never allows anything to get fully better before giving it another go!
ReplyDeleteAnd this too shall pass. You WILL get better. You WILL get stronger. It's just a matter of time. Just be disciplined about cross-training, eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying optimistic.
ReplyDeleteTough break!! Hugs to you. Just keep with cross-training, and you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say to you but I hope it gets better. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up - oh that sucks! If you're able to do some cross training, you shouldn't lose too much/any fitness. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteJust laugh, cause crying will smear your mascara.
