So here is what they found on the MRI:
- anterior tibialis tendon strain, roughly where the tendon attaches to the cuneiform bone
- stress reaction in the cuboid, navicular and talus bones
So no stress fracture, but I am instructed to stay away from "running, skipping and jumping" until our follow-up in three weeks.
Swimming should be okay although he recommended that I stick with my one-footed push-offs for now. He said I could try some two footed but take it easy on the bad foot and keep in mind that healing is the top priority.
On the bike, he recommended that I ride on flat pedals (no clipping in) so that I can't "pull up" on the damaged tendon. He also recommended that I stick with shorter, easier rides for now. But at least I can ge outside again!
It looks like I won't be able to run at the UW Open Meet on 3/16 but it looks like I should be back in action in plenty of time for Wildflower. Woohoo!
