Getting closer to a diagnosis!
This morning I had xrays done to rule out a stress fracture. Yay! Nothing was found. The doctor thinks it could be a neuroma and I've been given an appointment with an orthopedic specialist for next Thursday. Usually it takes months to see one of these people so I'm not sure if I should be concerned that they got me in that quick or thankful for my good luck? I guess I'll know for sure next week.
My running has been drastically reduced in overall mileage, which is very frustrating, but if there's any time of year that a layoff has to happen, I'm glad its the winter. I'm going to do a short run tonight and see how that feels. Now that I know its not a stress fracture I'm not as worried about doing permanent damage. I'll keep all my fellow Morton's Toe peeps in the loop!
