Aw, man.

X-rays are definitely inconclusive with stress fractures. That's a long wait to get an MRI. I hope it's nothing major.

From Jake K on Wed, Jan 06, 2016 at 11:43:55 from 159.212.71.25

Bummer. Sorry Joe.

From Drew on Wed, Jan 06, 2016 at 13:39:30 from 24.73.66.122

I'm really sorry to hear that - your post last week after nailing that workout was inspiring.

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Jan 06, 2016 at 15:11:30 from 172.56.14.79

Crap. Still hurts today? On the bright side....stress fracturex heal faster than rendons to be quite honest and then the bone is bulletproof...

Hope it goes away quick. :(

From Dan on Wed, Jan 06, 2016 at 18:49:20 from 71.72.159.140

Sorry Joe. I hope after the MRI you get news that it will be a quick recovery.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jan 06, 2016 at 18:52:43 from 107.77.80.64

dh - yeah, tell me about it. I had to take a 6:45pm appointment just to get in that early.

Drew, I really appreciate that. The timing seems extraordinary cruel. Why don't I ever get injured when I don't give a crap?!

April, yeah, so far every day is the same despite 2.4g/day of vitamin I... I guess that's how I know it's different - the old tricks are useless.

Tom/Jake/Dan - thanks guys.

Wishing you the best, Joe.

Rats, just saw this. Can you pass the "hop test"? I had almost the exact same pain a few years ago and after a few week layoff it hasn't bugged me since. I'm hopeful you'll be back at it soon.

From Derunzo on Thu, Jan 07, 2016 at 19:10:41 from 98.229.177.205

The friggin' timing on this one is lame. Sorry Joe.

From SlowJoe on Fri, Jan 08, 2016 at 06:51:39 from 107.77.80.64

Russ - hop test is a big fail. The more weight on it, the worse it feels... My big hope at this point is that it is just a stress reaction and will repair itself quicker than an actual fracture.
