Stress Fracture?

For two days after the race I could barely walk. My quads were especially tight, and I could feel a sharp pain along the lateral side of my right foot that I could not identify. By the end of Monday I was very frustrated with my inability to lift my feet off the floor and my shuffling gait; I made a one-hour appointment at Sutherland-Chan's massage therapy clinic located at Bay/Dundas for the following day. I took a taxi down to Atrium on the Bay and had a fabulous lower body deep tissue massage which produced a noticable improvement in my gait. What an amazing feeling to be able to walk normally again without the previous stiffness.

Today most muscular pain had disappeared, except for some soreness along my left shin. The pain along the lateral side of my right foot had worsened and I was starting to suspect a stress fracture. It was managable during the day; however, towards the end of my 6k run around Queen's Park with a colleague, the pain became unbearable. It was too late to see my family physician for a diagnostic referral; however, my goal is to have my foot assessed at Women's College Hospital tomorrow. I hope nothing is broken; it would hinder my performance at my next race in 2 weeks where I intended to really push myself.
