Not a lot has happened since my last post. I've been following physio's orders and only do short runs (7km), on soft surfaces, on alternate days, with right foot strapped, blah, blah, blah......
What should've happened is that the shin pain would have gone away and everything would be hunkydorey.
SO WHY HASN'T IT???!!!! (just a touch of frustration starting to show....)
So today at the physio's I was put through a couple of physical diagnostic tests and the decision was made......make an appointment to see a sports doctor. Until it can be confirmed my injury is now being treated as a possible stress fracture. !@#$%^& (a bit more frustration starting to emerge).
I see the sports doctor Friday 5 October.
Stay tuned........

Sorry to hear that CJ. I hear you on the injury frustration thing!
Fingers crossed for you !
I hope it's not the dreaded stressie! How can you get that from just one extra long run? If so, you can say !@#$%^& to Twofruits ;)
!@#$%^&
!@#$%^& - ditto!! Have we a time for Saturday yet?? You need more coffee!
Oh crap :-(
Physios are great but sports docs are so good when it comes to a definite diagnosis. And, in my experience, a really quick recovery.
Fingers crossed for you.
PS !@#$%^&
That sucks. I hope the answer comes soon and you know what's ahead. Good luck.
