Since the pain has reared its ugly head and gotten progressively worse after each of the last 3 soccer games played on cement-like fields...I'm going with a stress fracture and not bone cancer of really bad arthritis. Will see the doc next week when she gets the official results. 6-7 weeks of no running/soccer puts paid to Wineglass and New York although I might be able to jog the 5K at the Army Run. This has been a fun 12 months!!
Anyone have a second hand "fracture boot"?
A "hot spot" on a bone scan can also be inflammation of the soft tissue that attaches to the bone. Do you know if it's actually a fracture?
Not that it makes that much difference for the healing cycle.
I feel your pain, Nick. Hopefully we'll get back on track soon.
