I have been having some pain in my right heel for a few weeks now. I took last week off hoping it would get better and it hasn't. And the pain became more intense and now was occurring all the time instead of when I was running. I had Dr. Riggs work on it and it didn't seem to help at all. At first I thought it was planter fascitis but the pain seemed to be more intense. So I decided to go see the doctor on Thursday and he did a X-ray. It showed a impending or fracture in my calcaneus. He suggested that I be on crutches for at least a couple of weeks if not more. I have tried to get on them, but it hasn't been easy or fun. I do not like have to depend on someone all the time. I also have an aircast that I am wearing as well. My doctor said I didn't have to wear it, but it reminds me that I am injured and I do need to take it easy. So I wear it all the time. It is a mental thing for me. I am also getting a bone density test tomorrow to see if there is something else that can be done. I have had 3 impending fractures in the past 18 months.

Good lord, girly! Take care of yourself!! Is there anything you can do to prevent these?? 3 of these seems like TOO much for a lifetime much less in the last the past 18 months!!
Dudette~ That's entirely too many stress fractures. What is Tim doing to you??;-)
I hope you get better soon!
