As alot of you know I have a broken/fracture pelvis. If your wondering how I managed to do that Im still wondering myself. However, the several Dr's I have seen since July think it may have been from "Overtraining" in other words too much RUNNING. I actually didn't think I was running too much in the summer I thought I was doing pretty dang awesome! Then Wa-Baam. I came to a screetching holt while doing the 4th of July 10K.
After not running for the entire summer I had to get ready fast for the San Fransisco Marathon and I trained for 3wks for it and I did it, and it was very painful but I finished so who cares..?NOT ME. When we got home from San Fran I went immediatly to the Dr's and sure enough there was a break in the Pelvis. Still to this day cant figure out when it actually happened sometime between July and October. Actually the Dr thinks I had a stress fracture in July but we did not spot it on the X-Ray because it was so small then when I trained for the 3wks I just made it worse not knowing it was broken in the first place. Again I am pretty much on bed-rest for awhile.
Now here it is Janruary and still not improving. I have been to the Dr's 4x's for X-rays and no improvement but I have to tell you something it may be my own fault heres why..? Back in November I did my follow up and sure enough no improvement on the X-ray but the Dr wanted to get me into a specialist that week but before doing so he wanted to get another Dr's opionion and that Dr said "oh no shes fine she can start to workout slowly taking it easy then increasing it over the next few months"well I did take it easy and still painful but I just pushed myself through it because I did it before and lived through the pain so I just thought it was going to last forever or until its all the way healed. I was wrong the Dr was wrong the one who said I could work out he was way wrong. I went back in Janruary for the follow up visit and this time my Dr insisted I must see a Orthopedic Surgeon right away because even though I have been excersing my Pelvis should look a bit better but its not at all so it really concerns him. In November I did ask him what else it could be from preventing my Pelvis not to heal and he wasn't sure but he did mention to me that it could be something more serious like a Tumor or Bone Cancer thats not lettting my bones heal the way the should be by this time. Tumors and Cancer scare the hell out of me so here I am today just trying to deal with what he has told me.
Yesterday(Friday) I saw a Orthopedic Specialist and he ordered me to do a CT Scan and MRI's to see what excately is going on in there and if its more serious than I had expected it to be.? The Dr I saw on Friday was not my favorite Dr so I called my aunt Jo who knows Utah's #1 Trauma Orthopedic Specialist and got me in to see him so I will be following up with him.
For now I just will have to do those test on Monday and get the results from the Dr on the 27th. I am scared I dont want to die or be sick or be disabled FOREVER I love my life too much to have this happen to me.
As far as running or excersizing its done with for along time but I really dont care if I just knew I was going to get better and not be sick with some rare bone cancer or something scary like that. I dont care whatever it takes I will do. I will get better!!
Me nervous as hell at the Dr's on Friday
