So, the doctor’s visit today was inconclusive. Basically, the leg pain I’ve been experiencing could be due to one of several reasons:
- A simple pulled muscle
- Blood clot
- Shin splints
- Low potassium
- Stress fracture
I’ll know more once I get my blood results back, hopefully soon. But essentially the main takeaways are that I have to just deal with the pain, and I can’t run. So much for my summer 5K series. I never thought I would be bummed to NOT run. Anyone got any good ideas on what else to do so I can keep active without stressing my leg too much?
Try swimming! Good resistance without the hard impact. Plus it feels nice when it’s hot out.
Hope you’re on the mend soon!
