Oh No!

So it is 1/10/09 and on Wednesday I went to the dr because I was having forefoot pain since Sunday. I was worried because I wanted to rule out that it was a stress fracture because if I keep running on that it will do more damage. I had my foot x-rayed and was given anti-inflammatory. I was up all night Thursday night from a reaction to the medicine. I have never had side effects like this before. I had the worse stomach cramping imaginable. I cannot believe I actually was able to go to work. I did have my first deep water running class so that probably pushed me to get up and out of bed. The water class was nice and after I continued to do more running in the water on my own for about 1/2 hr. It felt good to get some exercise in. When I called and talked to the dr about the side effects he said I have a bone spur. That is right a SPUR-what the heck. And it is not in a good place. I have to see a podiatrist-hopefully soon and maybe they will say how to try and manage it. Not sure if spurs ever go away or decrease. I don't think they are going to say stop running because I think I would have a melt down with that news. I feel like I will gain weight so fast if I can't run since that keeps me motivated with different races that I plan on doing. I will hope for the best-I did say I would be happy if it was anything other then a stress fracture.
