No Problems Found

I made another visit to the orthopedic doctor this morning. This time to have my MRI reviewed. First the Physician Assistant came in and looked at the MRI and said everything looks good. Of course I had a few more questions about other aches and pains. She then has the x-ray tech take a picture of my leg from the knee down. The doctor then comes in and reviews the x-ray and MRI. Basically he says there is no evidence of any ligament or tendon damage and not signs of stress fractures. He says it is most likely a muscular strain and he sees no reason to stop running as long as the pain does not get any worse.

Here are the Radiologist findings and I quote.

"The bone marrow appears normal. The plantar fascia and musculature appear intact. The visualized major ligaments and tendons about the ankle appear intact without evidence of a tear. The ankle mortise appears symmetric. The subcutaneous tissues are unremarkable. The sinus tarsi appear intact. The retrocalcaneal and pre- achilles region/bursa appear intact, without evidence of inflammation.

IMPRESSION: UNREMARKABLE EXAM"

So there you have it. Nobody can figure out where the pain is coming from. So I did what any runner in my position would do. I went out for a 6 mile run. It was still a little painful but I guess I will just have to get used to it.
