No no no! Ic for a week, baah

Looks like my kerb jarring experience on my 10k last Thursday has gone from a stiff, lost my horse kinda walk to a painful leg tingling, struggling to get anywhere walk. GP prescribed strong antiinflammatories and no running for a week, flippity flip. I am not a happy runner at the moment and was looking forward to my 8k route tomorrow. Now I shuffle like a pensioner. The week better work some miracles!

That sucks! But better a week of now than three months off later on. Hope the pills sort you out.

Take the week and be thankful.. rest that leg, take your pills and plan the comeback route.. better the IC for a week, than crocked for months

Heal soon x Big hug

I know a week is better than it could be but I had a nice route planned and a running partner tomorrow. So disappointed that I fell down a kerb....

Take it easy and rest up for a week, then you can come back fighting fit and running your new route.

I know how frustrating it is on the IC but we all have to take a turn there sooner or later.

Oh, how frustrating! That sounds horrible. Take your Doctors advice to rest up and return slowly; running is for life remember and these things do happen. Patience now will help in the long run. Ice and cake always works for me!😉 Hope you're back out there soon.

That's a shame. 😞

But I guess 6 months from now that week's rest won't have mattered. (But it might have if you didn't have it!!!)

It is such a pain but I could see that running today would be a bad thing! Instead I home-made cottage pie and made some fruit cake when I would have been running. Funny now my pills are working for my SI joint pain, I can feel discomfort in my left ankle and knee which I haven't felt before.
