I went to the Dr. this afternoon. He looked at it and said it was definitely swollen and decided to do an x-ray.
The good news is that the sesamoid bones aren't broken or fractured. I was happy to hear that.He said that the area is inflamed and it had something to do with my joint and my tendons He didn't really have an official diagnosis of why it's so swollen. He gave me an anti inflammatory to take for the next week. He taped it, and padded it and wrapped it. I have to keep the wrap on for 5 days (no baths, but he said it should stay on in the shower). I go back next week.
I told him I have been running but I didn't tell him I was getting ready for a marathon. As he was finishing up he said, "do you have a bike?" I told him I did. He said "maybe you should do more biking and less running."
Too bad I can't bike across the finish line at the marathon.
good news i think :)
ReplyDeleteI worried for you that it was broken :( so happy for you it isn't..
I went the to dr one time for a shoulder injury (i did it to myself when i was lifting weights) ... was paying attention to the kids instead of what I needed to be doing.. anyway... the dr said "ugh..why are YOU lifting weights?????" .. I was like "uh... to be HEALTHY!" He told me to stop... i did for a while .. took up running.. and now I am back to doing both :) Drs are funny.
you have cute piggies :)
When is your next visit?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to run today either. Stubbed my 2nd toe really bad last night. It's all deformed and feels like it needs to explode. How long until you can run again? Did the dr. say?
