Hi,
My Dr is pretty sure I have managed to give myself a stress fracture in my lower leg and foot! Since my foot started hurting I have stopped running (5 weeks ago). After a visit to a physio, and A&E (Xrays were clear) I am being sent for an MRI to figure out what is going on!
I have been on crutches for 2 weeks to completely rest the lower leg, but after that I am trying to figure out what training I can do. Is swimming ok if I don't kick off the wall, also turbo training on the bike, should it be ok if I don't go for high power intervals?
My Physio has said that it can take 3-6 months to completely clear up, any suggestions about how to reintroduce running after a break of that long?
Many thanks
