Yeah, I know what it is

. How long have you had it? This whole 6-18 months recovery time is scaring me... I 've never experienced an injury like that before. It's so dissapointing because I had just reached a new level with my jogging and fitness in December when it happened. I sat on it for 2 months because I don't have health insurance and I figured it could just rest and it would go away like most of my other jogging related soreness, but this started getting worse so I went to see somebody. I've had massage therapy done on it and I sleep with the night splint, but the inactivity has driven me mad so I joined the local rec-center and started swimming daily. UGH! I just want to get back into my routine.
I'll take your advice on the stretching... thanks
