Just got back from the doctor... They took x-rays on my knee and had me try and do a few things. Most of the time when he was manipulating my knee it didn't hurt. But then he had me squat on my knees and try to waddle... I couldn't this hurt too much. The other thing was to stand on my hurt leg... squat slightly and then try to wiggle. Again this was too much. X-rays showed a slight thinning of my meniscus on the inner part of my knee. But he said that it was understandable with my age and running and didn't really seem to be concerned with it. So he scheduled an MRI to get a better idea of what is going on. I go tomorrow night, then see him again on Tues. Until then he has said no running... just elliptical (Suck... Suckedy ... Suck)
On the bright side, when he was asking about my miles and running... upcoming races etc. He said, Moab in 7 weeks maybe out but the Ogden full is still looking good! Here's to hoping is all gets worked out!
For today I will not be able to make it to the gym... between work and babysitting the gradkids, along with other obligations, I won't make it there. But I will try and go for a good walk at least. |
