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.
Hi TF,
Yeah have seen 2 doctors, one said soft tissue damage, but the other could see a very faint fracture line on my xray. So I guess I was being optimistic about it not being a stress fracture. However it's been a week since I did it and it still hurts. Suppose I've just been hoping it was the first option and it would feel better by now. Been advised not to run for 6 weeks! 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?
