Will 2017 be the year of a definitive diagnosis?
Chronic lower right calf and right ankle pain has never been diagnosed.
i’d like to change that.
i will change it.
So i start 2017 by pushing harder for the answer.

Do you ever get unexplained and unexpected pain anywhere in your body?
What do you do about it?
Wait, right?
Wait and see if it goes away, stays the same, or gets worse.
Then depending on which of the three happens, we move on to the next step.
For the record, unusual and recurring (a month) pain in left pointer finger. From pull-ups at the gym? Random arthritis?

Yesterday’s slow three mile jog to the High School to pick up my bicycle (from the night before) resulted in a flare up of the right calf pain from three days ago.
Was so frustrated in the moment, i was going to rearrange the whole day to accommodate storming into my Podiatrists office and demand answers – potentially firing him.
There is no justifiable reason for such a sharp pain to continue after i have repeatedly (over the years) shared my concerns and we have repeatedly run tests to find the cause. The end result is always, “Keep doing what you’re doing, everything looks fine.”
Yesterday’s pain (and Wednesday’s pain) was so severe i stopped jogging to walk the last half mile to school. The walking was painful too, like a major “charlie horse“.
Sharp pain simply in walking.
Come on.
There has to be a reason.

Seven months of zero to low mileage.
Stopped running entirely in April and May.
The only reason i began running this summer was to help our son, you know, easy, 10-12 minutes per mile, one, two miles at most.
When he joined the Cross-Country team in August, i continued running two to three miles – three times a week – because the running was pain-free. The reason i stopped running was simple. It was painful.
Wanted to try one last ditch thing to eradicate chronic right ankle/calf pain.
i planned (and was excited to know it would be a 2016 milestone) to run five miles and the pace was slow enough to remain pain-free, and just enjoy the privilege.

Running with no pain is insanely joyful. Yesterday’s 4.5 easy-pace miles were pain free.
To run pain free is better than competing at the highest Master’s level.
PS. Competing at the highest Master’s level is also insanely joyful.
