Today Sarah & Henry had the pleasure of accompanying me to the sports medicine doctor to get my leg checked out. This, of course, is something I avoid at all costs, but I could not find a sitter for them, so they came along. They were great and I think we moved rooms enough to keep it interesting. I got an x-ray done (Sarah & Henry had to hide around the corner away from me for this and I gave them each a giant apple to keep them busy while they waited) and it didn't show any fractures which is great news.
The doctor said I have ITBS (illiotibial band syndrome) and gave me some steroidal anti-inflammatories to take and instructed me to not run until I complete the prescription. I also need to continue to ice my leg, use the foam roller, and I'll also continue to wear my compression sock at night. My leg is really feeling worse after several days off of running so I hope this does the trick!
