So I went to the doctor today to get a tweaked ankle checked out and found out from x-rays that I have a bone cyst in my heel. The doc said "no worries, unless you're a marathon runner you won't ever know that it exists..." Unfortunately I am a marathon runner.
He basically said there isnt much I can do about it, my heel bone will be weakened near the cyst and there is a chance that one day it will rupture. I have no plans to stop running. Ever. One of my goals for the year is to BQ in December. Has anyone else had a similar diagnoses? Any experts out there with more useful advice other than "hope it doesn't rupture?" Should I go to a more cushioned running shoe?
