Hi - I'm new to this website, and am looking for some advise having bored just about everyone around me
I've been lucky to run for the best part of 20 years without any injuries (missed maybe 4 days at worst) but now I'm hitting my late 20's I've got my 1st one. The trouble I have is that one physio is saying I have tendernitis and another thinks I have a hairline crack on the bone. Obviously I'd like to know which it is, so I can treat it in the right way.
The background is about a month and half a go I had a little bit of soreness, which was initially only a small pain walking up/downstairs - running was absolutely fine. Then at training say I was doing strides just the first 3 or 4 steps would be a bit sore but then fine. Then I started limping a bit, bad pain when I got out of bed, so stopped training and rested pretty much completely for 2 weeks. I thought it had got better so did an hour run on the Saturday, rested Sunday and did a track session Mon and 1/2 of a track session on Wed, which turned out to be very silly because have been out for 2 more weeks and can only now just about run 10-20 mins.
The pain is in a very specific place, the physios/doctor can flex the foot completely but they put there finger into one spot, half an inch above my right ankle (on the inside) pretty much exactly in the middle above the nobbly ankle bit and it hurts badly.
Be interested to know if anyone else has had similar symptoms. I've been to the GP and trying to get a referral, but think I might just have to rest up which is really frustrating
