whew.NOT a stressie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sooooooooooooooooooooo
spent most of the day at the drs today. after seeing a sports doctor yesterday he said i was presenting like it was potentially a stress fracture at the head of hte femoral bone
(as all the issues are weight bearing)
anyway had the radioactive dye, went to the dr, and he is pretty confident that it is NOt a stressie.
so what is it????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Now that the pain is a little more localised, the weakness seems to be when a lateral movement is performed so he now thinks potentiallya DEEP stabiliser of the hip such as the roatotr cuff(who knew there was one there) or something around about there.
PLAN- MRI monday followed by perhaps a cortisone injection followed by strengthening of the are
MAN the budget is NOT loving me at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tried to do a session on the bike at the track but the pedal broke off-yes it bruised my ankle lol (as when a pedal falls off you bang your ankle against the thing that is supposed to be attached) and couldnt get it back on d'oh!!!!!

i may have to buy a wind trainer i think- camp next week so will decide when i get back and see where im at, otherwise if its long term it may be me imploring Em to borrow hers again(although at this rate maybe i should just buy one)

not a happy little camper i have to say

NO IDEA of rehab- NO IDEA of time frame but am happy its not a stressie

Jo, that is good news that it isn't a stressie, hopefully the MRI will clarify things and get you on the rehab track. You might have to become a roadie (cyclist) like me :-)

If the bone scan didn't show a stressie then it's probably a very good chance you don't have one, they show up pretty clearly.

So PHEW!!!

You can borrow the WT anytime you like for as long as you like, just say the word - but lets hope its not needed for too long hey :-)
