Notes
Doctor's appointment. Denied the X-ray, since it would not reveal anything and now costs me 250 deductible then 10 percent. Doctor was not 100 percent on Calcaneus stress fracture, but was sure it is bruised or a stress reaction. He wanted to just say plantar and leave the room until I made him listen and then really test it. Unfortunately I have a very high tolerance for pain so it is tough to diagnose without imaging or more thorough testing. This one passed the line of plantar on the last race and must have just ripped the bone and cause some type of fracture or reaction. Those last 2 miles and then hmm 3 mile limping cool down were torture. The doc and I decided a boot and crutches for a bit and try to do some complete rest. I am still debating to call Monday for an MRI, but it does not change the treatment. The body needs the rest and can suck up 4 weeks and is almost 1 week down. I think the boot for this week and then walk 30 mins twice a day for the next 3. Tomorrow start aggressive core routine with no weight bearing exercises for a few weeks.
