Catrin, it wasn't Cipro, was it? I suffered the same thing after taking Cipro while I was on RAGBRAI two years ago. I rode the entire week and had to miss the last day because I could hardly walk much less ride. It still bothers me when I run.

Oak, I'm so sorry this has happened. You have worked so hard. I hope it heals up in time for the marathon. Hang in there.
