Oh no! My knee and foot were feeling really, really bad. I had to stop after 1 mile because my entire right leg locked up on me. I walked a quarter mile, then decided to try to run again. My knee felt better but my foot hurt the rest of the run. AP 9:18 min/mi I went to urgent care, the orthopedic nurse practioner was convinced it is either a stress fracture or torn ligaments. This pain started as a sharp pain just when I woke up Monday. I don't understand how it could be ligaments because there wasn't an event to cause it, it was spontaneous. I went to a physical therapist, he said if he had to guess it's bone. My gut tells me it's a lot of muscle tightness. I have a tight spot in my quad, bruising on the outside of my knee, inner knee phantom tightness, and after looking at pics online, the main culprit is a tight extensor digitorium longus muscle. I'm injected with radioactive isotope now, heading back to the hospital in a bit to finish this bone scan. Hopefully, it's not bone. I really want to do Big Sur on Sunday!!! :( |
