Pubic Stress Fracture - The latest from the Doc

I went to see Dr. Hutchens for a follow-up appt last Monday (3.5 months since the inj).  Before I went in, I thought I was going to get the go ahead to continue w/ the run walks.  But then the Doc asked me to lay down and he put his thumb to the right side of my pubic bone.  Sharp pain!  He said, "That's still a little tender, huh?"  "Yep," I replied.  The left side was the same.

After the quick exam, he told me I seemed to be coming along pretty good.  Then he gave me instructions for the next 6 weeks:  2 weeks of elliptical, 2-3 weeks of treadmill walking (up to 45 min), and then 2-3 weeks of run/walks (gradually increasing in distance).  During this 6-8 week time period, he wanted me to be sure to work out on the multi-hip machine a few times a week to wake-up the adductors, hip flexors, abductors, and hammies.    No need to return to his office, "just listen to my body and don't overdo it."  Yessir!

So this week I hit up the elliptical on 3 separate occasions and actually went for 30 min yesterday. I am so out of shape, but it's all good, especially since I have done zero cardio since November.  On the other hand, I am getting "strong like bull" w/ the weights and resistance exercises.  I keep this up - I am going to come out of this deal stronger, wiser, and more physically balanced than when I got hurt.  Funny how that works...
