no rubning for longer

After thinking i’d sprained it, it wa actually broken! Weeks later i go to a&e still in pain and an xray proves it’s broken! 😫 but has healed itself! 🤗 so still no more running for me! 😦

Wow! Shmelany! That's quite something! I hope it's all good now, even if you are still out for a while.

[Shmelany in reply to sunshinefish]

I’lll be back to week 1 i think. Another 6+weeks out! 😒

Sorry to hear this... but I don’t think it will stop you. Try and do as much other exercise as you can and come back once you’re healed. Take it very gently when you start again... discuss it with your physio. Good luck.

Oh no!!

What have you broken?

[Shmelany in reply to cathsykes]

Fibula! I went to see my Gp a few weeks in and got told it’s a sprain and would take a while to heal! Its not been 5weeks since doing it and it still hurts a fair bit and swells I wasn’t convinced so went to a+e, they confirmed broken fibula but it had fused itself back together, no cast or boot needed now its too late, so no idea what will happen now, waiting to hear from the fracture clinic.

Oh no!!

I fractured my radius just over 4 weeks ago

I was in denial at 1st but got dragged to AnE 3 days later

Foolishly (probably) I have continued running (VERY VERY slowly) AND going to work ( but not driving)

Oh no! Sorry to hear this. Restarting the program is not as bad as you think- lots of us, ( including me) have had to do that.

Heal well, the running will wait & we will cheer for you again when you restart. 😀
