Is my stress fracture coming back again?



I woke up this morning with a pain right where my stress fracture was. It’s not an intense pain, just a kind of dull pain when I move my foot in a certain direction or when I put weight on my toes. It doesn’t feel like a muscular pain, and if I press against the bone it does hurt.

I think this means that I may have overdone things over the weekend - 3 miles on Saturday, the gym on Sunday morning, and then 2.25 miles on Sunday evening. I’ve learnt my lesson…. take things slowly when coming back from an injury! Even if you feel OK, it takes time for the body to adapt again to even base level training.

I really don’t want to, but I think a couple of rest days are in order. I haven’t done anything today - apart from about 25 mins of walking to and from work. I was going to get up at 6 tomorrow and go for a couple of miles, but instead I may just go for a swim. I kind of feel I should go to the gym… but I really don’t want to put it under any undue strain.


What to do next...
