Colby & Fugichants,
Are the doctors or orthapedics you are seeing have any experience/certifications in sports medicine? I find that run of the mill doctors, orthapedist, PT and people in general think running is BAD and bad on the body/joints, etc. So the saying "don't run" and "marathon is crazy" is just so hard for us that run to hear.

I, myself, would opt to taking it easier to see it that aggrevates it less. stretch, stretch, stretch, antiinflammatories and good shoes.

That being said, I am not physician....but a runner....with aches and pains that come and go. And a desire to train for my 1/2 marathon no matter what!

Good luck and hope you both feel better soon!

Maybe PT with some good exercies will help.
