The diagnosis seems right because it just doesn't get better with rest like shinsplints seem like they should...and I guess the test will confirm or not. <br /><br />I'd like to get some more opinions before I have surgery, but mostly because the thought of having surgery terrifies me.<br /><br />(I shouldn't have done that google image search!)<br /><br />I've already lost a year of racing to this and so I need to consider what's my best option for both the October 2013 Half I'm signed up for, the March 2014 marathon I'm signed up for (these deferrals are stacking up!), but as well as the longer-term than that, like what are the risks of this and do I still love running enough to risk it?

Follow your heart and if this isn't sitting right then seek another opinions. If two or three confirm the same thing then that's what it is. Seemed like ever PT I saw had a different story about my foot.<br /><br />Hang in there! Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
