The frustrating thing is that nothing has happened. Still pain free. Passed the hop test. Two runs. No pain at all. Not an iota. Doctor thinks that because my fracture was so severe that I am at risk of it recurring if I run now. They are giving me free custom orthotics but they have benched me again. Maybe orthotics make a nice hat because they sound pretty useless to a non runner!

Stress fractures suck. No other way to put it. Hang in there, be conservative, you'll get there.

So sorry, Claire. Is it a matter of more time and healing and then you can run?

I think that they think that i will benefit considerably by waiting until at least May before I start to run again. The problem is that my husband thinks that he will benefit by waiting until May to impregnate me Tongue

What is it with men, my body and May?

This would seem an appropriate time for an appearance by the gorillaman, I believe. Wink

Kooky, Can you walk? If you can, get out there and move. You might also try going to a Doctor that runs and see what he or she has to say. Non-running DOctors think running is the worse thing ever created. With the right dosages of calcium, magnesium, lysine, and Vitamin C, and a healthy diet, along with some very easy running with walk breaks, you should be able to heal very quickly and get back to being a running dynamo. I hate when Doctors do this to people. Stomp on their spiriit.

Actually, if you're back to running, my plan for you in May will be to cheer you on. If you're impregnated in May, my plan for you will be to cheer you on. Wink

Modified because I am a moron and used "your" once and then "you're" in the next. I can haz edumacashun? Roll eyes

By waiting until May you will probably want to run fast. Your second "problem" will probably make you want to run fast-ER Wink
