" No one knows your body better than you "

That's what is bugging me. In 15 years of running I've never had anything close to this painful. I can knock a shin-splint out with a block of ice and some rest no problem. This is a thousand times worse than any shin spint I've ever had.

The radiologist did confirm "stress activity" which I'm interpreting as the precursor to the full blown sfx.

I've been holding out hope for IMFL but I think I'm dreaming. Did anyone else read the letter to the editor in Triathlete a few months back from an athlete thanking the spectators at IMAZ who helped him when his leg snapped? I can't quit picturing that.
