[October] Monthly Updates & Check In Thread

Pretty sure I have a stress reaction in my right tibia, between 1/3 and 1/2 up. Doc told me there aren’t really good tests for early stage stress fractures/reactions. In the middle of my first week off. Probably have another two weeks off minimum. It is slightly tender to touch, and slightly inflamed. But it didn’t really hurt or anything when I was running on it. Doesn’t hurt when I hop on one leg.

But I’m going to take it easy, because I’d rather it not develop into a full fledged fracture and be out for 6-8 weeks. Back in HS it seemed like someone got a fracture every season, tbh I think I was jealous of them at the time. Now though, just kinda pissed I can’t run.
