The good news is there is no stress fracture. The bad news is there isn’t a very definitive diagnosis. Doc said that the MRI didn’t show the tendons and ligaments very well, but it did show some inflammation and swelling. So I will be partaking in physical therapy three times a week for 6 weeks. I go for an initial evaluation next Wednesday so they can find out where I am currently and then it’s a go for Project Ankle Strengthening.
Also good is that I don’t have to entirely drop tae kwon do. I can still do what I have been doing, which is avoiding jumps and any major twisting of that particular ankle. I might take it a little easier on the running since that seems to aggravate it as well. I’m so relieved that it wasn’t something that is going to sideline me.
