Injuries Are Frustrating!

Digg! this story! Digg! this story. November 18th, 2009 trichick

My shin has suddenly started hurting again. Why? It does not make sense that my shin would start hurting right now. I have taken almost two full weeks off. I have not run since the marathon. All I have done is stretch and swim, no contact whatsoever. I am really hoping that it is not another stress fracture. However, it is starting just like my previous ones did and is in the same spot. This is so frustrating! I keep trying to make sense of it all and trying to figure out exactly why my shin is hurting. I am not sure if it is really injured or if I am just so paranoid after all my stress fractures that I am making it hurt. I really do not want to see a doctor because I already know that an x-ray will show nothing and that I will need a bone scan to show anything. Hopefully taking a few more days off of running will heal everything before it turns into a full blown stress fracture.
