Thing is, I'm fucking going nuts. I dreamt all night that I was running. I want the real thing. Should I give it a shot? Or am I being too impatient?

Damn dude. I wan wondering why I was tracking you down on the list. That sucks
Why not use an elliptical to keep on moving and let it heal some more? I've not had a stress fracture but from waht others here have written its not something to screw with. I've done that with tendinitis a few years past. Worked well enough and kept me moving.
If that doesn't work for - rub some dirt on it and run some easy.
Try to run. If running hurts, stop.
You won't know until you try. Walking tells you nothing. Touching the spot tells you nothing.
MTA: I have at least 10 spots on my body that hurt when I touch them. So I don't touch them. They don't hurt when I run.

There is a long dark road ahead of me.
How about an easy 20 mile jog?
FIFM...good idea!
thing is, if it's really a stress fracture, do you really think it will have healed itself in what, 5 days?
I've had a stress fracture...this doesn't feel the same, I'm leaning towards tendinitis.
This is a good point.
Also, you'd rather it be a stress fracture than tendinitis.
still... better safe than sorry.
Although i did miss the fact that the x-ray didn't show anything in your first post... hmm. decisions.
I meant the tendinitis for the extra days fo recovery.
I like the 20 mile run idea and not touching the spot where it hurts. You people are good. I would say, take four or five NSAIDs prior to that 20 miler. That should really help
I thought that x-rays will not always reveal SF?
Anywho, I was once told by a doctor that I could do as I wished as long as it didn't hurt.

Back of knee still sore to touch, but I am trying not to mess with it as Candice suggests. Not sure if this has any relevance to your case, but I'd say if you are having to alter your gait because of the pain, I'd not run. Otherwise, I'd try a very easy 1-2 miler and see if it feels better/worse the next day and go by that.
