MRI results

So I went to the orthopedics's office yesterday! I had gotten my MRI last week and was going in to get the results from the scan.

After looking at the pictures and stuff the orthopedic came in and told me that my MRI showed that I was perfect! there is nothing wrong that they can see from the MRI :( So basically we have no idea!

So Next month I have an appointment with a neurologist who is going to test my nerves. Basically the orthopedic thinks that it might be a compressed nerve that is causing the pain. So basically we still have no idea what is wrong and I have to wait another month until we will maybe have any idea!?

ugh....


Meanwhile... I ran a timed mile yesterday to see my time this time around.

so the results 9.40 which isn't to bad and considering my leg hurts and it was freezing which makes it much harder to breathe so 9.40 is not bad at all.

I'm actually really proud that I can run as much as I do! I never thought I would be able to run at all!

Rainy Days

So it's been quite rainy the last few days which makes it much harder to go out and run! I think mostly the thought of what if I slip and die! :) so I decided to pull out some old workout dvds that I had bought and do some of those! I forgot how much of a workout some of them are!! wow!

I got an MRI on my leg/knee on Monday. Next Monday I should get the results from the MRI and hopefully see what is causing the pain and hopefully take the next steps to fixing it so I can stop wearing this stupid wrap and just run!

Feeling good...

I have been feeling great running lately! I finally got past the pain and have been pushing myself to go farther and farther everyday!

But... Physical therapy has been getting me no where for the most part. I haven't gotten any better. I have gotten stronger but the pain is still there without wearing the brace. so my physical therapist tried to further diagnose this problem both therapists think that it is my PCL (posterior cruciate ligament)which can only be fixed by surgery (sucky)

So I am scheduled next week to go back to the orthopedic and get scheduled for an MRI so we will see how that goes and see what the options are from there!
