Subject: RE: help diagnose my sore quadComet - 2013-01-10 10:24 AM djastroman - 2013-01-10 10:36 AM OK, good news is I received the approval from my insurance to get the MRI. So hopefully I'll know by tomorrow whether or not I can run Bandera! GREAT! Did you ask the ortho what he thinks you should do if it's not broken? Mine told me I could walk the marathon without risk of LIFE CHANGING injury, if it wasn't broken. However, it still meant there was something (inflammation, strain, etc) and I was willing to risk it and recover after said marathon. OK just got the call. After looking at the MRI, he doesn't see any sign of a stress fracture. He said basically the same thing your ortho said, that it was some kind of muscle inflammation or strain most likely from overuse and that I needed to slow it down a bit and not run quite so much. So that said, I'm running Bandera 100K tomorrow! yeehaw! I'll let you all know how it goes and how I feel afterwards. Hopefully 3 weeks later I'll be running my first 100 at Rocky. Thanks for all your help! |
