Boo! Stress Fracture.
I tripped over my Cat coming down the stairs a week ago Monday. On the way down I also knocked my foot on a piece of wooden furniture. The top bruised pretty badly and there was a scrape on the top of my foot. I didn't run Tuesday and took it easy the remainder of the week (short runs on treadmill). Saturday I had a 5k and 1.5 miles in my foot began to bother me. I finished the race thinking it was just bruised and my shoe was bothering the top of my foot. Went to my GP and she gave me one of those "fancy" boots. She thinks that I'll need to be in the boot about 4 weeks but referred me to an Ortho. Appointment is tomorrow.
Anyone experience this and have any excercise tips? I can't imagine not doing anything for 4 weeks. My arse will get huge. I will be asking the Ortho tomorrow but looking for some creative ideas from you lovely ladies as well.
TIA!
