These tendons injuries drive me NUTS!!!!  I think things are fine after resting, I plan a run, they are a little tight during the run but they warm up and feel fine, things feel great after the run and then the next day what does lots of crunchy crepitus, swelling and pain the day after a 6 mile run equal?  No running once again for a few days. :(  I'm sure you're all getting tired of reading about this yet again! 

After talking extensively with my (future) PT, Teena, I have decided to take another week off to get completely healed.  I can't bike or do elliptical either (and even walking too much is out), so I'm going to try and do a lot of core work, strengthening, stretching...and resting.  My goal is to do at least something 1 or 2 times every day because I tend to not do much if I can't run...but I can't let myself off that easy this time around...gotta avoid the pity party. =0)  I think I have a handle on the factors causing my injuries (at least some of them), so hopefully I can get things under control...again.

AM

  • strength training at the gym

PM

  • (hope to do some pilates or yoga at home if my class gets done early enough today)

Can you swim? You should try swimming if your PT will let you! :) It really is great for all the things you need. Teena really is amazing and I hope you get through this! I KNOW injures are the pits!

Happy Easter, Brooke!!!

(Paul, waiver-shmaver!!!)

((Rachel, Brooke is an AWESOME swimmer!!!! Sadly, any flexion and extension of her foot right now really bothers her.))

Oh I hope I hope I hope the Bunny brought you lots of healing!!! :)

(Oh yeah, Happy Easter to James as well!)

How are you feeling today?

From Toby on Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 14:52:00 from 216.194.124.36

I'm so sorry! Being there myself, I understand HOW frustrating it it! I have NO advice (needing some myself!), but hope you eats lots of ice cream to feel better!

What is your game plan for the road of recovery?

From Teena Marie on Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 13:01:59 from 67.2.88.232

I know you are busy with finals but a HUGE congrats on finishing clinicals!!! :)

When you get a chance, we would all love a detailed update on how you are feeling. :)
