Focus on resting your leg so you can get back out there as soon as possible! I have been thinking of you on my runs and wishing you well! <br /><br />I am riding the struggle bus this week for real - feeling like crud and traveling for work is a terrible combination. Yuck!

I will head to Epcot to wait for my dad and boyfriend- I am sure that we can get into the after-party as long as we have the bib. I'm going to call runDisney this week just to be sure. Maybe we can have a drink together at the after-party together! ;-) Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09861496043188311237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483808524582624189.post-64364542210898445362014-10-07T15:48:46.922-04:002014-10-07T15:48:46.922-04:00Hi Sarah!

I dealt with an injury and I'm left with no time to train for wine and dine! do you know if we pick up our bibs can we just head right to epcot and wait for our family members at the after party? Hope you're healing well!Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995740509350028294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483808524582624189.post-35817343417465859092014-10-07T14:58:43.121-04:002014-10-07T14:58:43.121-04:00Hi Melissa!

Yes- I noticed we do have a lot in common from our ig profiles- sorry if that sounds creepy, lol! <br /><br />So for symptoms- I started getting top of foot pain LAST November. I went to a PT about it and he said that as long as the pain wasn't getting worse as I ran (it wasn't) and there was no swelling, don't worry about it. So I didn't. The pain was slight then and very, very intermittent. <br /><br />Fast forward to July- my foot started swelling after I ran. A little bit of pain all over my foot- some on the top, some at the base of my toes, some on the side of my ankle. Not enough that stopped me from running or walking. This time, I see an orthopedic surgeon, he takes x-rays and says I'm fine- keep running. He told me to come back if the pain worsened or it started to swell more often. <br /><br />Fast forward to late August; my foot is swelling again and the pain is slightly worse. I have a low tolerance for pain and I'd still only put the pain at like a 4 out of 10. What concerned me was the swelling. I went back to the PT and the ortho in the same week. Both push and prod on my foot; both say "it's not a stress fracture, keep running." Ortho orders an MRI to rule out a stress fracture. <br /><br />MRI results- it's actually a stress fracture. It did not have typical symptoms (severe pain in a concentrated area, pain worsens with running, fails the "one hop" test- ie, you can't hop on that foot). I had diffuse pain that got better as I ran and I could jump and hop with no pain or issues. This is just an atypical case. <br /><br />If I could go back in time, I would have advocated more for an MRI in July. An x-ray CANNOT see a stress fracture so they were pretty much useless. Had I had the MRI in July, I could have gotten the diagnosis/started treatment much earlier. I think I've been running with a fracture for a few months. <br /><br />I should blog about this- this is a loooong comment! Please feel free to email me if you want to chat privately about it- sarah@sparklyrunner.com. Fingers crossed for you at your appointment tomorrow. Sending good vibes to you! :-)<br /><br />Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09861496043188311237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483808524582624189.post-8031207500230737592014-10-07T14:24:42.277-04:002014-10-07T14:24:42.277-04:00Woah idk where my comment went, but summing up wha...Woah idk where my comment went, but summing up what I said - so glad I found your blog from your Instagram account, seems like we have a lot in common! Just curious though about your stress fracture symptoms? I'm too impatient for my appointment tomorrow and I wanted to be fully prepared mentally if it is a stress fracture.
