Broken Katy

Katy has been experiencing random hip pain over the last 3 months with regular trips to the physio. The physio seemed a bit baffled in our last visit a few weeks ago - as the pain was initially on the side, then at the front and finally changed to the back. He suggested an MRI to rule out any joint issues or potential stress fracture. My alarm bells should have gone off (given Ella's random ankle pain followed by MRI to rule out random things which resulted in surgery) however they didn't.

Anyway Katy and I went to my old work for the MRI in late Feb. It was nice to catch up with my old work mates and be able to sit next to the MRI tech as the scan was being done. She pointed out a few areas of concern as the images loaded. Now we would have to wait for the report.

The report eventually came out and stated....There is bony reactive change at the ischium, ischial tuberosity and pubis. A quick call to Cathy for physio correlation, interpretation and advice. 

Next we were on the road to see the Sports Dr for management and luckily we didn't have to wait very long for an appointment once getting a GP referral! Sport Dr diagnosed a grade 3 stress response (which is one level below a stress fracture!). Her recommendation was for Katy to do no impact sport for 6 weeks...given that it had already been a week...it was reduced to 5 weeks. That meant no running at Easter and also missing the ASOC trials. As you can imagine Katy was a bit sad.
