Well the teenage girl has been benched from running!!! This is a very BIG!! She has either shin splints or a stress fracture. The orthopedic doctor will see us back next week to either release her to run or cast her leg and get an MRI to get a definite diagnosis. She has gone absolutely stir crazy, driving me crazy with her! I totally understand her feeling, since I was unable to run for almost the entire summer due to some low iron issues.
The doctor said it was a combo of increased mileage and a growth spurt. She has grown 3 inches and gained 12 pounds since June 2011. This is a big spurt for her since she is 13 and just now reached 5' and still weighs less than 90 pounds. Oh to be young and fit!!!
Well say a little prayer and hope that she can return to her passion in life soon!!
