An Injury?

16 August, 2008

So, injuries only happen to people who REALLY run, who train and all that.  But I’ve been hit by something that’s made it impossible to run for a few days now … I can hardly walk.  More than a year ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my left big toe.  I thought then that it might be a case of gout but the doctors said no, it was just a stress fracture.  Since then, I’ve had mild pain on and off on that toe which sometimes comes when I run.  Anyway, the same pain just recurred a few days ago and it’s really demoralizing.  I just was at the doctor, who now thinks it might be gout (which is even more de-moralizing, considering how I hardly eat red meat …)  Anyway, my toe’s pretty inflammed now and I can only hobble around. Hopefully, I’ll get better from this soon.
