Diagnosis: Osteitis Pubis.

Time to fix: Estimated at 6-9 months.

Ugh. Well, on the good side, at least I've got a pretty definitive diagnosis, although there is still an outside chance its a hernia. Evidently this is one of those injuries that are usually chronic in nature and take a highly variable amount of time to heal from. Fortunately(?), it looks like the cause is biomechanical issues that can probably be corrected with the proper Physical Therapy program and I'm already on the books for my first PT session tomorrow with a PT that treats athletes in general and runners in particular.

Okay, so I'm opening a 24 hour window (until noon tomorrow at my first PT appointment) where I'm going to allow myself to feel sorry for myself, then that's it. After that, I'll devote my energies to something useful like recovery.

What can I say? Bummer, I guess. Like you said, at least you now know what/how/when?/etc. I think you could still pull off some good fall training. But first get it healing up...

I'm looking at it as an investment. If I managed to run as well as I did with screwy biomechanics that led to this, imagine what I'll be able to do once I get it sorted out.

Yes, somehow the glass is still pretty full today.

Sorry about the injury. Sounds like you have a great attitude...good luck on the road to recovery.

Searching Wiki for "Osteitis Pubis", I found the source of all your problems... You've been playing too much Australian rule football! So just cut back on that, and you'll be right as rain in no time!

Seriously though, that doesnt sound comfortable at all. Good luck.. sounds like you found the best possible PT!

Sorry to hear you are injured. Besh of luck on recovering.

From Dale on Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 18:24:43

Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear it, but you've got years of running left. Don't let a few months bum you out. Maybe a fall race once you get things sorted out?

From snoqualmie on Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 10:44:18

That's terrible. So sorry to hear it.

Thanks to Allie for pointing out this post. Where are you going for PT? I went there for a few months and worked with a running specific PT on form, hard but good info. I think overall is was a great investment and insurance covered it aside from my reg copay. Hope your Pubis?! gets better:)
