[QUOTE=Mountain Goatess;132267]Yes of course. I have recommended myself a course of Golden Pippen beer followed by a flaggon of Pinot Grigio tonight. That should sort it.......... but if it doesn't I may have to increase the dosage.Quote:

MG - I don't want to dampen your spirits, but a mate of mine sustained a stress fracture of a bone in his foot doing the 3 Peaks last year, and it wasn't a quick recovery. I understand that 4-6 weeks immobilisation is usually necessary before a stress fracture of a metatarsal heals. It's not worth taking short cuts and finishing up being out for longer. Are you getting professional advice about what to do?
Anyway, bad luck and I hope it mends asap.
Broke my 2nd metatarsal years back, in pot for 3 weeks, still managed to get out on my bike, where there's a will there's a way, good luck MG, your a trooper:cool:Quote:

I can't put any pressure on the front of my foot at the mo so running and cycling is off for now. I suppose I'm in denial and hoping it's going to be back to normal soon. Thought I'd be out running again by now! :(
How is your PF coming along...feeling any better? ;)
MG,
My girlfriend has the same thing, she has had it for about 6 weeks now. It felt better after 4 weeks so she did the Manchester 10k on it. Its now back to being painful again. So I would just give it time and a little bit more time.
Its a real s**t being laid up when the sun is shining and evenings are long. though is'nt it.
Im going to the pool tonight :(
chin up everyone,rest up and you'll get back into it in time,and you'll be really motivated for it again
Oh I'm just totally gutted as I've entered 5 races between now and July. :( Was really looking forward to getting a good time in the Wharfedale as my fitness was improving lots the last few weeks. Also the Lyke Wake race was my main aim for improving last years time but now I won't get the training in needed for that! Will have to find something good to aim for in September I think. :D
I bet you'll feel fine in a couple of days - don't give in to the pain :DQuote:

I got 100 yards and had to walk - my bastard knee just hurt too much. The knee no longer feels locked when I bend it and I no longer limp, having been driving or sitting down a while. It does hurt like fcuk though if I run and put any weight on it :(. Now Wharfedale looks in jeopardy too.
I'll try again in a couple of days I think.
Don't give in to the pain you said Stolly!!! :DQuote:

I went to the place that I usually run past all the picnickers today (I usually curse them and call them lazy b*****ds ... but instead I joined them...I had a picnic! Gaymers Pear cider yummy!!! :D
:( oh dear stolly and MG - not good on the knee front.
I'll join in, as I tripped over a tree today and my knee is now rather looking rather red and bruised and stiffening up nicely!! was still able to run on it fine earlier so hopefully nothing serious :rolleyes: although picnicking does sound appealling MG! ;)
Im enjoying filling my saturdays with normal things whilst Im injured. Im planning on decorating my whole house. It just goes to show how much time it takes up.
I was lost a first on the weekends, where usually I would be camping and out running / walking in Lakes.
Went swimming last night, i find it really hard, could only put two lengths of crawl together before taking a breather and doing another two
Im gonna focus on the swimming and improving that and by the time Im up to 40 lengths without stopping, my knee's will be fine for a few miles run.
Thats the plan anyway.
Thanks for asking, MG.Quote:

I'm trying a short race tomorrow and then deciding about a whole crop of races coming up, including the Bronte 5 miler (road!) on Thursday, and Wharfedale on Saturday (though I've only entered the half marathon this year, for a change.)
It's really hard to resign yourself to being injured and out of action, isn't it?
Especially as there are always races in the pipeline that we're looking forward to. You build up to them for weeks beforehand and it's hard to accept that you're going to miss them. By definition, we fell/distance runners are tenacious buggers; we don't give anything up easily.
I find it's easier once I've genuinely accepted that I'm injured and stop harbouring crazy ideas of a miraculous recovery that flies in the face of medical science. It's then possible to set a realistic target and find ways of keeping a core fitness ticking over in the meantime.
Best of luck MG.
Any more room in the injured corner please? :)
My knees are still not right and I've not run now for 5weeks. Feet are still very sore from Yoredale too :(
Good luck everyone - as Jamie says first couple of weeks is worst
I notice your last posting was timed at 3.31am, DT.
Are your knees keeping you awake? (Curse that chattering patella...)
Seriously, best wishes for recovery. What's the prognosis?
How's your knee One Hill? Hope you're getting lots of sympathy! ;)
Have you scoffed the well earned trout yet? :D
I'm in Dhaka in Bangladesh working at the moment and currently 5hours ahead hence odd posting time Tussock :eek:Quote:

Hope you shaken off the PF!
Not fully PF free, but had a trot round the Laycock Gala race this afternoon. The downhill start on tarmac to Goose Eye didn't do the PF any favours...
I'd wondered if you were off on your travels again DT. How long are you away for?
Good news TF! :)Quote:

But it's not completely cleared, so I've got everything crossed too...
Progress :D. I can jog on the spot without my knee hurting! Next up jogging with forward movement :eek:.
Or, 'jogging on more than one spot', as it's otherwise known.:DQuote:

Keep your chin up and you will soon be back and you can thrash me again in the ppp.
Been to the fracture clinic today. I'm now allowed to load the toe-end of my foot with 25% of my body weight. Pot on for another 3 weeks. Might have to give Ennerdale a miss this year......and Wasdale and Borrowdale and Three Shires and Langdale....etc. etc. Should be getting back out just as the dark nights arrive and the cold, shitty weather starts.
But I'm not bitter :mad:
You have my deepest sympathy, Goose fat.Quote:

Anyone with any experience of having bursae (back of knee) drained/injected?
It's going to happen for me on 4/7/8........quite frankly, I'm a bit scared.
Any advice/experience???
Time to resurrect this one for all the hypochondriacs out there.... :(
1. Sprained ankle
2. Getting over a heavy cold <sniff sniff>
As they coincided I'm forced to take a week orf. :(
knee is much better, still a slight "twinge" at the side of it, no running for another week, but i'm going for a nice walk in t' hills tomorrow
OH BUGGER.........I appear to have given myself an ice burn to my (previously slightly) sore knee.
I have to say that I am soooooooooo annoyed with this that I can feel a full on strop coming on!!
I blame it all on having tempted the injury gods:- I have entered a race.
How foolish can you get?
Is it worth crying, or what??
