I saw the orthopedist yesterday to discuss my MRI arthrogram results and received the good/bad news I was expecting: multiple stress fractures of the pubic rami (pelvic bone).
Good news: No surgery needed. No permanent damage to soft tissue. Long-term recovery optimistic. Should be able to resume light running around September/October.
Bad news: Multiple stress fractures. No cross training. No cycling. No weight lifting. No yoga. No stretching.
More good news: I get to do aqua jogging. It is now summer. It is very hot. Ideal time for aqua jogging, not so much ideal time for running.
More bad news: It's going to be a long summer. At least I will have the Olympics to appease me.
(Shaking fists in the air): "But this was supposed to be the Summer of George!"
