So Thursday I finally got to be seen by the dr. on base and was diagnosed with iliotibial band syndrome. It is an inflammation and pain on the outerside of the knee that starts at the hip and continues down the lef to the upper shin bone. I was given some motrin and stretches to help. I unfortunatley didn't run in the race on Saturday but I plan on going to the gym today to walk and maybe run a mile if the pain has subsided a bit.
Nothing too exciting happened this weekend, just layed low and relaxed and watched movies on tv. This week I have two spouse christmas socials to attend as well as work on Wednesday and Friday and a Cocktail party Christmas Social on Saturday! Busy week but full of holiday cheer which I am excited about!
11 days till I am home in NY for 10 days!
Did the doc say you should refrain from running in the future? I think I'm having the same problem.
