So to follow up, Doctor thought it was a stress fracture, so I got a bone scan. Turns out it is Osteitis Pubis. Basically an inflammation of the joint where the pubic bones meet. Time table is not firm like with a stress fracture which is annoying. At least 6 weeks maybe more. It's not often you'd prefer to have a stress fracture. Alas.
I'll be back just not sure when.
Sorry to hear that Mark. So what do you do to cure that? If it's inflammation, can you do non-impact type stuff and take anti-inflammatories?
Heal up!

Sorry Mark. I've never heard of that. I wonder if that was what I was beginning to get a taste of as well....sounds like the right spot, roughly. Actually I still feel it on seldom occasions.

Wow, kmark, hope it responds well and you're back on your feet quickly.

The best part is i'm allergic to NSAIDS (ibuprofen etc...)...hilarious, I know.
I can do some other non-impact stuff but it's hard when you don't enjoy it all. I run because I enjoy it first, because it's good for me second.

+1. Let me add this. Watch the layoff. Very easy to get into bad habits. I gained 15 pounds when I had to take 3 months off and I am still paying for it.
Not at it at all.
