My left hip started to hurt three days before the Columbus 10K. I thought maybe it was because I was doing a track workout - quick stuff, lots of circles - the pain persisted and hurt with every step of that race. After that race I was in a world of pain. I could barely walk and the pain was very reminiscent of when I got the stress fracture two years ago.
I called the doctor the very next day. I've got big plans and big goals this year and if I'm injured, let's get on with it. The doctor, of course, thought it was another stress fracture. Awesome. I had some x-rays that showed nothing, was told no more running for a while (double awesome) and was scheduled for an MRI.
A few days later I had the MRI and a few days after that I was back in the doctor's office. No stress fracture. Say what? I could go back to working out as long as it didn't hurt. Honey, everything hurts but if it's not fractured, I'll keep working out in some way. I did a lot of swimming and a lot of water jogging. I tried one run. I made it nine minutes and had to turn around and walk/limp home.
I sent a message to the doctor. She wanted to do more evaluations including another MRI, this time with contrast - an injection right into the hip joint.
Last week I had the arthrogram MRI done at the local hospital. It was painful, it took forever, and I don't ever want to do it again. I can't believe I've now had two of them for my hips! I got the results the next day. I have a labrum tear on the left side (both my hips are gonna fall apart!) and tendonitis where the hamstring connects to the sit bone. I exchanged about one billion emails with the doctor - why is there pain in my outer hip and my groin when the tendonitis was in the hamstring/sit bone? She wants to do physical therapy. I want better answers. She said I could workout as long as it didn't hurt.
I, of course, signed up for a race a few days later...

Swimming is Dangerous
Who knew that swimming could be dangerous? I've always thought of it as a pretty safe workout since you're not pounding your body and using only the water as resistance. Turns out, I was wrong. Earlier today I was doing my workout, went into a flip turn and OUCH! I got my toe stuck under me while flip turning and pushed off the wall like that. Immediately I knew it was broken. Of course, being the good athlete that I am, I immediately stopped my watch and then checked out my toe.
This is what it looks like now. Should I call the doctor or just tape it to another one and keep on?

All Clear
A broken femur. A partially torn hip labrum. Twelve weeks of no running. Six weeks of physical therapy. And six pounds gained. I have finally, FINALLY been cleared to resume training.
I am so happy!!!
I am allowed to return to training with a few caveats. No more than five days of running each week. Keep up with all my strength routines. Do not build speed and mileage at the same time. BE CAREFUL!
Monday it all starts. I have five weeks until a race I'd like to focus on. Will I be back to where I was? Absolutely not, but hopefully enough that I can be happy about my race and experience.

Physical Therapy
I've been doing physical therapy now for three weeks. The goal is to strengthen my hip and the muscles surrounding. My first visit we discovered I have no muscles, which is why I have stability issues and injuries.
The first week consisted of simple leg lifts and Steamboats (that's my doctor's office in the video). I also learned some stretches for my cranky hamstring that has been bothering me for the better part of a year. Those exercises were enough. My hip area was on fire. I even had to stop some of the exercises because I just didn't have the strength. I did those exercises on my own 3-4 times during the next week.
The second week we continued with the leg lifts and Steamboats and added some more exercises. First was single leg squats with the other leg in front, to the side 45 degrees, and to the back 45 degrees. That's a LOT of single leg squats, y'all! Next was a single leg "pencil pickup". Think of it like those Drinking Birds. Finally there were hip hikes.
This morning was my favorite physical therapy session. I was introduced to this:

This morning was my favorite physical therapy session. I was introduced to this:
An anti-gravity treadmill
First they put me in a pair of neoprene shorts, like a wetsuit. Then I was zipped inside up to my waist. It fills with air and calculates your weight. Finally you select the percentage of body weight at which to run and start the treadmill. I started with a walk which was WEIRD! I had the treadmill set high, 65%, which was like walking on the moon. I kind of bounced and there was nowhere to put my arms. I looked like an old lady power-walker. After I few minutes I increased the speed and kept doing it every few minutes. My last few minutes were at a 9:50 pace. The running felt pretty good. I didn't have any pain in the area of my stress fracture, but I did have the cranky hamstring and a little bit of tenderness on the outside of my hip area. With each exercise, though, it is getting stronger and less tender.
I am now doing some jogging outside, although still mostly walking. I will continue on the Alter G treadmill at physical therapy until I can fully run. The good news is I'm getting stronger and I'm no longer in pain. Real running is coming soon.

July Hip Update
It's been 8-1/2 weeks since I last ran. Today was my July appointment for my hip. The doctor asked me about my activity level, gave me the stink eye when I mentioned I was doing some walking, and tested out my strength. And then he gave me the best news ever, I could return to running!!!
Sort of.
My doctor has a "Return to Running" plan that has 11 steps going from walking to elliptical to jogging to building intensity to returning full time to training. Because I had already started walking I blew through steps 1 and 2. Overachiever! So, I'm now onto at least 2 weeks of elliptical training, building from 20 minutes to 40.
In addition because I continue to have pain in my outer hip and my hamstring, I will be starting physical therapy next week to begin to strengthen all the muscles.
I'm super psyched to get running again. The extra 5 pounds I gained too are extra excited to start the training too. It might be another 8-12 weeks getting back into real training but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel now.

June Hip Update
I've lost track of what number of hip update I am on. Number four? Number one thousand? Who cares?
This morning I went to the doctor for my four week check-up on my hip. The hip is better but not 100%. I still have some pain when I do too much, when I hyper-extend my hips, and when I sleep. The limp is gone, but I can still feel every step. I'm definitely not ready for running.
The doctor started the appointment asking about my pain levels and what I had been doing. He did some strength exercises. I was concerned about my lack of medial strength. He said that was due to the break so that strength would come back. My glute was super tight from all the limping so he did some ART to loosen it up (and the pain in my outer hip has gone away with it). I asked about what might have caused the break. He said it was probably bad luck. I agree. I asked about the Hokas. He wasn't a fan. This surprised me as he is a trail ultra runner (100 milers). I'm going to try them anyway.
In the end, he is keeping my recovery super-conservative. Frustrating, but the right thing to do. I still can only swim with a buoy and lift weights only while seated. No water jogging yet. Ugh! I am now allowed to bike with very little power. No getting out of the saddle. He said I could ride outside even. And that's about it. My next appointment is in four weeks.
At least I can add in biking. That will help me feel like I am actually exercising and keeping myself in shape. Plus, I can add the baby trailer to my cruiser and get out of the house with Anderson to do things locally.
My coach said I was being incredibly patient. Well, it's either that or suffer a worse break and need surgery. I'll take patience and a healthy return.

Hip Update #3
The doctor walked in on Thursday and said, "unfortunately, I don't have good news for you." Yeah, somehow I already knew that.
From the diagnosis:
Incomplete medial right femoral neck stress fracture.
Nondisplaced right acetabular labral tear.
Awesome.
There is some good news in all of this. The doctor is not really concerned about the labral tear. He said they're very common and shouldn't affect my running and that's probably not what is hurting me. He said if they had done an MRI on the other hip they probably would have found one there too. So, for now, we're just going to treat the stress fracture. Unfortunately, he said because of the location and severity it was going to be a long slow healing. He told me to expect to not be running for a full 12 weeks. Y'all, that's the whole summer! When I do return it's going to take me another 12 weeks to even get to maybe 5-10 miles of running! And because you can't just cast a hip and let it heal on it's own, I've been forbidden from just about everything. I'm allowed to walk for daily activities, but no walking for exercise. No biking. No anything. I'm allowed to swim with a pull buoy and lift weights sitting down. I have another appointment in four weeks to see how the healing is going, and then I might be able to add in some more swimming and MAYBE some spinning.
I've had a lot of people asked me how this happened. The doctor didn't speculate and neither will I. I'm a runner. Injuries happen. This isn't my first trip down Stress Fracture Lane. In 2004 I had both a stress fracture in my fourth metatarsal of my right foot and a tibia stress fracture in my left leg. I was training hard and maybe not taking my nutrition and recovery to the level of my training. I probably do not have the strength I need in my lower core and outer legs to be at the level of training I was doing. These are things I will work on when I return. But, I also know that I have to heal. As badly as I want to get back out there and as sad as I am to miss basically the rest of the year of racing, I have to get healthy and take care of myself if I want to come back.
Thursday I was sad and upset. I had a margarita and ice cream. I cried and gathered hugs from my boys. Yesterday I got back in gear. I ate healthy and went to the pool. It's going to be a long road, but, for now, I have a positive outlook. This is certainly a devastating blow, however, I'm trying to think about the positives. I get to spend the whole summer with my little guy. I get to enjoy the sunshine and the pool. I have no set schedule and can do or not do workouts as I please. I will find new recipes and work on getting healthier, trimmer, and leaner. I will find lots of books to read. I will work on getting the house {finally} in order. And I'll dream of all the races I'm going to do when I get healthy.

Hip Update #2
This morning I had my MRA, magnetic resonance angiogram. An MRA is a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to provide
pictures of blood vessels inside the body. (Thank you Google.) It started on an X-ray table with the radiologist injecting dye directly into my hip. He cleaned my hip three times with iodine, covered it with a sterile dressing, and then used a GIANT needle directly into the hip. First he started with a numbing agent, injecting it and then advancing it further and further into the hip, the whole time using the x-ray to make sure everything was going in the correct area. Then he injected the dye directly into the joint between the hip and the femur. The more dye he injected the more it burned and hurt. I found myself moaning and apologizing and giggling all at the same time. After the dye was injected they took two x-ray pictures. This is when I noticed how badly my hip hurt and was heavy and swollen. The doctor wanted me to take only a few steps, which they escorted me to the bathroom so I cut my scrubs back on. This was SO painful! I could barely lift the leg and it was crazy hard to walk. I even had to have the tech put my shoes on for me and she was so sweet she even offered to help me dress.
After the angiogram procedure and getting my scrubs back on, they wheeled me to the MRI. The medical center where I had this done was beautiful but unfortunately a little bit under construction, so the MRI was actually done in a mobile unit out back. It was hilarious to be wheeled to a tractor trailer, put on an industrial lift, and escorted inside a truck. So funny! The MRI took 35 minutes and was uncomfortable. The tunnel felt tight, and even with ear plugs it was loud. It's so hard to lay flat on your back, not moving, and feel comfortable. I tried to close my eyes and relax. I was in pain, though, and it was not fun.
Finally it was over and they wheeled me back to the changing room. My hip was still extremely painful, swollen, and tight which made getting in my clothes and hobbling out to my car almost humorous. I wish I had valeted my car or brought somewhat with me, but you've got to do what you've got to do. It's just great that Dave took a half day off to watch the baby and allow me to get this done so quickly. The pain in my hip persisted for a few hours. It was so bad when I got home that I had Dave meet me in the garage with my crutches. But by lunch I was able to hobble around on my own and now, at 5:00pm, I am able to walk just fine (minus the pain of tripping over the dog yesterday and re-aggravating it).
Thursday I have my follow up with my regular doctor. I'll find out the results then. I must say, I don't have my hopes set very high, but you never know. Wish me luck!

Hip Update #1
This morning I went to the doctor again. We started off with a few strength tests. Or maybe I should call them "lack of strength" tests. I laid flat on my back and was told to lift my leg. Um, yeah, I can't. Then he moved my leg inward and outward which caused quite a bit of pain. Next, it was time for x-rays. Two x-rays were done - one where my legs were straight out with my toes turned in (ouch) and one with my leg bent and knee rested outward. I love my doctor's office. Everything is digital and the doc went over the x-rays as soon as they were done. Surprisingly, there was nothing. No stress fractures, no fractures, no impingement, no arthritis. Nothing. So next up I will be having some fancy MRI with contrast dye injected into my hip to rule out a labral tear.. It's not scheduled yet, but hopefully it will be done in the next week. For now, there is no running. Shoot, I'm barely walking. But, I might get in the pool and pull. I have to do something. I'll go insane!!

Pain in the Rear
Every since I had the baby, I've had some trouble with lower leg lateral strength and therefore, I've gotten injured. I've had some bad shin splints and foot pain and for the last several months I've had some hamstring tightness I just haven't been able to shake. I've been able to put up with it but it certainly tugs when I'm doing speed work or drills on the bike. Since my marathon last month, however, the pain has moved into other places. I've had some pain in my SI joint along with some really bad pain in the same hip. Some days are not bad and then there are other days, like after my sprint workout last week, where I could barely walk every time I stood up. Having been around this block a few times, I immediately started doing some PT exercises I knew along with icing like an Eskimo. Fed up with it not feeling better and starting to feel nervous about the race this week, I called the doctor.
The doctor did a few strength tests, flexibility tests, and then jammed his fingers into my leg. My doctor does ART (active release therapy) and he went to town on my hamstring. Gosh, it hurt so bad (good). It stung for most of the day but did feel pretty good overall. He also gave me a few more exercises to do. And we set up another appointment for more ART later this week before the race.
I haven't tested it out on another run yet. That will come tomorrow. Either way, I'm doing the race even if I have to be hyped up on a zillion Advil.

Injuries Updates
Yep, it's been another two weeks since I've blogged. Life with a baby is busy, obviously. Throw in working and working out on top of that and there's barely enough time to get to the grocery let alone blog. I used to do most of my blogging at work and then fill in the gaps at home, but I got moved to the "big boys" table and now I sit right next to my boss. So, it wouldn't be exactly a great idea to continue blogging at work.
Anyway, here's a quick update on my endless list of injuries that are plaguing me this fall.
My left hip is doing much better. I continue to do some of the physical therapy exercises assigned. Except for when I do a big run, it really doesn't hurt anymore.
My right shin, on the other hand, is just a mess. It has continued to hurt more and more, to the point where I saw the doctor because I had a stress fracture. (I didn't really think it was fractured as the pain got better when I ran and the pain wasn't pinpointed on the bone, but I didn't really know what else to do.) The doctor diagnosed it as posterior tibial tendonitis and assigned me more physical therapy, specifically ultrasound. I scheduled my appointment and hoped for the best.
But I got the worst. The office called me and informed me that my insurance claim was denied because I had just had a PT evaluation and they wouldn't pay for another one for six months. Shit. So I got on the internet and googled the heck out of my diagnosis. I found some exercises and even found some ways to tape it up to make it feel better. I tried both and it felt better for a while but it was still too painful to run. I was starting to wonder if the rest of my season, the big races I've already paid for, was going to be awash. I sent my doctor an email rambling on and on about insurance, and my pain, and what can we do???? He quickly responded and I had an appointment the next day for ART (active release therapy).
ART is pure torture and hurt so badly I had to hold on to my head to keep from screaming while it was being done. And immediately after it felt terrible. The next day, though, the calf/shin had loosened up quite a bit. I stayed on the elliptical for the rest of my short runs during the week and was able to get through a 17 miler on the trails on Sunday (I had hoped to go 20 miles but ran out of time due to a family commitment.) Monday everything hurt really bad again and I was limping around like my leg was cut off. Tuesday I felt good enough to run the 7 miles from my house to my parents for dinner. Wednesday I was in terrible pain again and today was a little better. I had ART again this afternoon which loosened my shin but my calf still feels really tight.
This weekend I am running a road half marathon which is going to hurt like hell. As for the trail marathon and 50K I still have on the schedule, well, I hope to keep them on the schedule. After this weekend I can switch to all trails, treadmill, and elliptical with no road running. Once the 50K is done at the end of December I am going to take some time off and let the body heal and SLOWLY return to running.
