Pre-tensing this with the fact I have booked into see a physio, but would like some advice before I cause myself to have a panic attack
So, after having a scare last week with a potential metatarsal stress fracture which (touch wood) seems to be subsiding - I stupidly decided to pull a double after a having done a fast tempo the previous day, making my mileage stupidly high for the week considering I was supposed to be taking it easy.
Anyway - I went for a run today and had anterior thigh pain/femur shaft pain throughout the run which feels extremely 'deep' and not like a pulled muscle - if I had to describe it, it feels exactly the same as my metatarsal stress reaction, which has me extremely worried.
I can successfully hop on the leg without pain but I work a waitress job and throughout the day it had been aching and getting random sharp pains. Also when I stand from a low chair or toilet it hurts, and its aching at rest.
Also I am a 22 year old female - had REDs/anorexia for a good 4 years so my bone density it pretty much non existent ... any chance this isn't a stress fracture ? (I'm not holding out much hope)
