Find joy in the Journey

I wish I could help you, but I don't know. If you think it might be the flip flops, try wearing other shoes during the day and see if that makes a difference.

Callie, just ran across your blog (blog stalking recent entries :) ). As a recovering SFist I feel slightly qualified to answer. My PT said to make sure I got the gel insoles in ALL my shoes while recovering. There were days I would be on my feet cleaning all day (in socks) and it would ache afterward. So, keep off your feet (if/when you can, I know mothers never get to!) and wear gel insoles or anything to keep impact down when you can.

It took me about 8-9 weeks of NO impact exercise until I had no pain for a week which was enough to start on a 'back to WALKING' program. I'm now just starting my 'back to running' program an additional 3 weeks later - with continued NO pain. However, my fracture is in my hip (femoral condyle) and I'm pregnant, baby takes everything! So, it takes a while, but do what you can to stay off of it and even just seeing a PT once and getting a plan of how to recover when the pain is gone would be VERY beneficial. No/little guess work. Mine lets me call with questions instead of making a $25 appt for answers.

Either way...there is my 2 cents about recovering from a SF, yes the pain is normal (still) and the flip-flops probably did do it. Take or leave it (this is my first time around with one, so I'm not an expert). Good luck with recovery, it takes a while, but it's worth it in the end to not re-fracture, which is your greatest enemy now for the next 3-5 months! (or so I'm told)

I bought a pair of slip on Merrill clogs (at Cabelas) with insoles to wear around the house. They make a HUGE difference. I am going to get a pair of insoles for my running shoes too!
