Setback...

Guess what? I have a stress fracture in my left fibula. My lower leg has been hurting for a while, but I thought it was muscle-related. Well, it has been getting worse and after the elliptical last night it really hurt. This morning I went to the gym and couldn’t run it hurt so bad. So, my coach recommended I see a sports medicine trainer. I went to see him and he is 99% sure it’s a stress fracture. He scheduled me with an orthopedic sports doctor on Monday at 3:00. If it’s stress fracture, I’ll be in a cast for 4-6 weeks but can still do the stationary bike and weights-just no running until it heals. He also thinks I may have arthritis in my left hip, but isn’t sure so I’ll find out about that as well. He said not to get discouraged and this is just a small bump in the road.
