Infection

Ugh, this has not been a good week, Last Thursday I developed swelling in my foot of unknown origin, I preceded to walk on it all day and all night with the pups, while the pain was intense I figured something was just not sitting right as min my sock...at the time I did not know my foot was swelling as I was on my feet all day and after a typical Thursday my feet always hurt and my kicks feel tight so I literally thought nothing of it. Friday morning my foot was so swollen and sore I couldn't bend my toes or put pressure on my foot at all as in NO WEIGHT BEARING!!! This sucked as I can't walk let alone run and I have my two 1 year old rambunctious pups for the weekend. FInally by Saturday night I couldn't handle the pain any longer and went to urgent care to have it looked at...they decided it was an infection and put me on antibiotics and told me no running for 10 days.Tuesday it wasn't any better so I made an appointment with my primary care physician who diagnosed it as wat she believed was gout. She prescribed meds and within 24 hours I was feeling much relief, the swelling was going down and the pain was subsiding. I will try and get a few miles in on Monday morning...I have a race on Super Bowl Sunday after all!!!
