I don't think stopping running is ever the answer. <br /><br />However, I think in my case I may need to cut down. Once this broken bone heals I think that I am going to buy a bike:-) <br /><br />That way I can do 50/50....well, maybe 70/30:-)RunningJunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393872916933140796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-17287442588524422092012-06-13T18:33:58.042-05:002012-06-13T18:33:58.042-05:00Oh yeah, chicks dig scars.

I suggest bringing a bat to your next appointment and if they say your only option is to "stop running marathons" then you tell them your ONLY choice is to hit them with the bat till they can figure out a different solution!track coach and adorable wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687538676703896501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-80158004930610614702012-06-13T17:04:37.809-05:002012-06-13T17:04:37.809-05:00I just came over here because of your newer post a...I just came over here because of your newer post and I HATE DOUCHEBAG DOCTORS. Mine said "you can't go run because your blood pressure is too high. diet and exercise can lower your blood pressure." In succession, just like that.<br /><br />Freaking idiots. Second opinion, definitely. And if you figure out how to find a doctor who runs without actually calling the office and asking, let me know. That's my new approach.

Over the last four weeks of training, my distance run without pain became shorter and shorter. A week before the race, I went to the doctor. They did an MRI and said they would call me with the results, but that I probably shouldn't run anymore. I didn't hear from them before the race, so I ran. At mile 18, the cyst ruptured. It was some of the worst pain I have had in my life. I walked the next four miles of the race. At mile 22 I decided to suck it up and finish. Two weeks after the race, I returned to my regular running schedule and the pain was gone. It never came back and that was 4 years ago. (Meanwhile, they called me the day after the race and told me not to run and that I could have it drained if I wanted. I told them I was pretty sure it ruptured and they said, "Yeah, that makes sense too.)<br /><br />Good luck!TMB @ RACING WITH BABEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670409852045798697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-85709252224983371792012-06-12T11:28:22.202-05:002012-06-12T11:28:22.202-05:00I would definetly get a second opinion.

Maybe do some research for some doctors that are not alien and actually understand that running is a big part of your life and your not willing to give it up. <br /><br />I think the journal is a good idea. <br />Maybe start running super fast so it's less time on the knee? <br /><br />Sending good thoughts for your run tonight :)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915445766937263434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-41700073848835207852012-06-12T10:56:58.760-05:002012-06-12T10:56:58.760-05:00I am going to think the very happiest of thoughts ...I am going to think the very happiest of thoughts for you! I hope your run goes well and maybe if we all think really happy and hard that little white blob will just disappear!? I'm sorry you are dealing with this.<br />I gave my dr a similar look and response when he told me, "Perhaps 26.2 just isn't your distance. You might just need to stick with the 13.1's."mmmK, doc.. sure. <br /><br />Happy running!!!kimerthttp://anotherrunningmom.comnoreply@blogger.com
