of course...

So...in my previous post I was talking about my knee hurting. Well I decided to go out for a light jog the other day and I oculdnt make it around the corner without it hurting!! I started freaking out so the next day I went to the doctor...he first said it was a meniscial tear, meaning surgery and therapy for 4-6 weeks. BUT after X-rays and MRI's they came to the conclusion I had Iliotibial Band Syndrome. The outer band running from the bone in my knee up my is inflammed. They gave me a shot of cortisone and I am on medicine to help that I have to take 2 times a day. But the doctor said I will be able to start running again in 6 days. Ugh...so I was out of really training 2 weeks before seeing the doctor and now another 6 days!!! But i should be able to run at camp. He said I have to start slow just so I dont reinjure it. So this will be fun :)

Hope all is going well with everyone!!
See you all soon

  2. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Just be careful and make sure it heels before you get back into hard training. I would much rather have you take it easy now and get it better for the season. I hope it feels better soon!

  3. good ting you're taking care of it now...it's a bummer tho that we'll have a couple of ppl on the gimp list before we even get to camp...did the doc prescribe any physical therapy to strengthen?
