Stress fracture
According to the doctor, I probably have an early stress fracture of my left tibia. The x-ray was normal, but he says these types of fractures are difficult to see. I am scheduled for a bone scan next week to be sure. But based on his exam he feels it is fractured. I can barely walk on it, so no exercise for 3 days and I think I'm going to lose it! He says I could try cycling, but if that hurts then I could try swimming. If swimming hurts, then on to couch potato. This is so frustrating! I think I will try the gym on Monday. I'll try the bike first and if I can't do that, I'll try the new aqua aerobics. Definitely no running or power walking for several weeks.
I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and do some type of floor exercise. I could be doing my abs and upper body still as long as I don't put any weight on my lower body.
