Update ban on running for me😢😢

[Myrar]

Good afternoon ...Just thought I'd update on my IC progress ..Went to the doctors today ...He has said I have torn ligament/tendon in my leg no running for at least 3 weeks ...So gutted ...I thought I was getting better but was still limping slightly so decided to visit doctors ..(.That's a lot for me to do as I don't do doctors ) but hobbling around for 6 days enough was enough ....Good news got good medication that I can now walk with no limp ..I'm happy with that ..bad news can't run for 3 more weeks that means a month without running ...After just graduating not good ...Hope everyone out there is fit and healthy and keeps running ...The ones who are on the IC ...We will just need to keep each other company ...Thanks for being there 😊😊

You have torn a ligament and a tendon? Crikey. Bad luck. Which ones?

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Rignold]

He just said torn ligament or tendon I don't think he was too sure to be honest but the naproxen he has given are great ..😊

[Rignold in reply to Myrar]

What? You need to get a second opinion ASAP. That is astonishing. There is a major difference between a ligament and a tendon and a dr who cannot tell a tear in one from another is having a Turkish. Go to A&E.

Did he even manage to guess which part of the leg it me be?

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Rignold]

He examined it ..And that was his words it's a torn ligament or tendon in this area ..He pressed on the part that hurt ...It's just under the kneecap to the left ...But he says if it's not better in a few weeks I should go to physio . .And don't run ..Rest it . ..I'm just glad to not have pain ..

Oh, no! So disappointing. I broke my foot in November, so I completely sympathize with your frustration! Follow the doctor's orders so you heal up fast and come back strong.

[Myrar Graduate in reply to ccarter100]

Thank you ccarter I will definitely follow to the letter as I want to run again ...If it takes the time stated I will just have to wait ..😢

[QueenTea Graduate]

Oh you poor thing. How frustrating for you, but at least you know what it is & have correct medication. My thigh is still sore but I haven’t been to Drs - perhaps I should. Decided not to attempt any running until the w’end but if it still hurts lll book an appointment. Like you, I’ve just graduated (2 weeks ago) & still haven’t managed a proper post grad run. Take care of yourself.

[Myrar Graduate in reply to QueenTea]

Thank you queentea ...Yea you just think I will plod on thinking it will get better on its own ...But sometimes the doc is needed ...I'm grateful to be pain free now ...You should go and get it checked just to be sure ...Better being safe ...Hope you have a quick recovery ...All the best 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Sorry to hear about that Myrar, you and Floss seem to be going through a rough patch at the moment, I just wish both of you a quick recovery and after 3 weeks things will slowly get back to normal

[Myrar Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks almorr ..Yea I think I'm bad but I feel it for oldfloss her problems seem more complicated than mine ...So I shouldn't be moaning ...Hope oldfloss heals soon and is out running again soon ...Take care 😊

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Thinking of all those on the IC. I was there post graduation but fortunately just a strain which I have recovered from now. I think I overdid it on the running machine trying to improve on my grad pace. Lesson learned. Hope you are all better soon and finding other things you can do. If not , watch the World Cup, Wimbledon and get a tan! ⚽️🎾😎

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you ...I love your way if thinking dexy ..A tan sound good ..Weather has picked up again up here so that might be on the cards ...Maybe a wee bit of gardening ...Or on here babbling on to all of you ...Thanks again 😊

[Hidden]

Sorry to hear it, but it's not all bad news, you've improved and it could be worse! Sending positive vibes! 😊

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you sutsha ..Yes your right being pain free is a bonus and there are a lot of people worse off than I ...Take care

[Hidden in reply to Myrar]

I'm just thinking you could've been on the IC for longer, but 3 more weeks isn't too bad. You watch, it'll fly by 😁

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you it will ....What's this there changed strava name in your honour lol😊

[Hidden in reply to Myrar]

sallenson is talking about my post yesterday. I got 3rd all-time women's record for a Strava segment. Which sounds way more impressive than it is, believe me! Was still chuffed though. Didn't even know there was a segment on my run, usually don't run as far along but was out for 35 mins as I was doing the C25K+ Stamina podcast. Still quite new to Strava and learning new things every day. 😁

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Hidden]

That's amazing well done you ...It's a big deal you shouldn't play it down 3rd all time womens record ...My god ...I need to go and read your post ...absolutely brilliant ...Well done ..I would be shouting from the rooftops ...You should have seen me when I graduated . Tears ..Happiness ...I was so chuffed ...so your achievement is fabulous 😊😊😊

[David_G]

Oh no, that’s such a shame for you. Sadly can’t rush these things so just take it easy, you’ll be back to running before you know it 🤞

[Myrar Graduate in reply to David_G]

Thanks David ...Yea I will be back before I know it ...Fingers crossed . .All the best 😊

[sallenson Graduate]

We'll all still be here!! Apart from Hidden and the Rock Chicks, who will be off in far distance. Tho they may have encircled the globe by then and be back for another round to beat their PB

Apparently Strava is being re-named Sutsha in her honour. That's a nice touch.

Now you get better, pop in say hello from time to time, let us know how that darn leg is and we'll give you big C25K hugs xx

[Myrar Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Thank you Steven ...You always put a smile on my face ...I will surely let you all know when I'm back at it ..I was wondering how my strava changed its name lol ..Thanks again take care 😊

[Hidden]

So sorry to hear that I know how frustrating it is. Look after yourself & download loads of box sets. As Oldfloss always says running will always be here for you.

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you welshwitch ...Yes I think I will have square eyes in a few weeks ..I don't like the telly much either ...But I will find something to amuse myself ...Think I will have to ask oldfloss to budge up on the IC and keep her company 😊😊

[Hidden in reply to Myrar]

Take it easy now & it will pay off. Think short term pain for long term gain - you don’t want to rush back too soon & set yourself back for longer. You’ll get back to where you were. Once a runner always a runner.

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I read a lot of people say you lose the fitness after 2 weeks ..I just hope I don't need to go back to the beginning again ..I know I will have to go really slowly and shorter distance to start with ..I will just need to wait and see how I am when I can get out again ...Thank you 😊

[Bridget007 Graduate]

Oh no! That’s horrible news! At least you aren’t in pain walking anymore. I hope your leg feels better really soon xx

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Bridget007]

Thank you Bridget ..Hopefully it will fly in ...Take care 😊

[over61andstilltrying Graduate]

Hi Myrar, So sorry that you didn't revive better news from the doctor. It must be time for more flowers 🌺🌼🌸 and perhaps a little drink too 🍾🥂. I look forward to the even better drink celebrating your return to running.

[over61andstilltrying Graduate]

Oops I mean receive not revive!!

[Myrar Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Lol ..You made me smile 😊

[Myrar Graduate]

Aww thank you so much ...Flowers and wine gratefully appreciated ......Thank you 😊

[Jay66UK Graduate]

I don’t know how this forum handles bad words but be sure lots of them are flying through my mind. Sending lots of good wishes for speedy healing.

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Thank you 😊
