Merry Christmas

[Wenderwoo]

Morning all,

I went for the physio assessment yesterday afternoon. Thankfully there is no tear or serious damage. He could see the bump straight away, but thinks it’s just thickening of the tendon, and fluid build up. He did some physio to try to ‘mobilise’ it (I nearly went through the roof it was so painful), and also some ultra sound which is supposed to aggravate the cells to speed up healing. I have exercises to do, including continuing with eccentric heel drops, and another appointment on 6th Jan. I asked if it was possible to run and he said he couldn’t see it being detrimental, but to leave it for a couple of weeks.

I’m now more optimistic that I will be able to restart sometime in January, but will wait till after the next appointment if he says it’s ok 🤞🏼

So I just want to say thank you very much for the support you have given me, both during my runs, and the time spent on the IC. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete this by Easter, rather than Christmas.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year 🎄🎁🎉🍾🥂

Keeeeeeep Running!

I’m glad you have some sort of diagnosis now Wenderwoo and another check in the New Year! Hopefully you’ll be fully restored to running fitness before too long! Good luck and festive greetings to you!

Glad to hear it’s not a serious injury and that you will soon be back running.

Good to get a diagnosis & know you’ll soon be running again. Suggest you try Lavender Oil on your feet before bedtime as it aids recovery & promotes restful sleep 😴 Have a great Xmas & look 👀 forward to your running return in the new year 👍😊

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. You were really doing so well. And newly purchased running shoes too!

For now, a very merry Christmas to you and may the running gods give you a break for the new year!

Sounds very promising so look forward to seeing your return to fitness in the new year. I came upon the heel drop exercises and they seen to be helping me too.

Better weather towards Easter hopefully! Good luck with physio assessment soon.
