I'm coming around to the idea that runners that have good inherent speed and no endurance (that's both of us) when training for the marathon should focus on doing a few long runs with the speedwork done as part of those runs - the idea is to get used to running fairly well after one's already "spent."SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-45815416565866326992010-04-27T02:45:38.469-07:002010-04-27T02:45:38.469-07:00Piccola, well, it sounds more like adhesions (or m...Piccola, well, it sounds more like adhesions (or maybe just an internal area of scar tisue) than a problem with the pubic symphysis. That is good in the sense that you don't need to worry about running worsening it, BUT it also means, it might not ever completely heal. But the best advice I can probably give you is to find a doctor you like who you can see about it. Perhaps not what you wanted to hear, but the best I can do from here...sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-30089034569643830742010-04-26T11:14:30.324-07:002010-04-26T11:14:30.324-07:00p.s.

To answer your questions: 1. no pain associated with the abdominal scar but maybe with the uterine scar that I cannot see. 2. no pain associated with palpating the bone. 3. yes, it feels deep in the pelvic area. 4 & 5. it is only associated with running and feels the worst after a high volume work-out OR when I am running and suddenly have to change direction i.e. to avoid a person or car etc. 6. no pain with spreading legs. 7. after the initial healing period post "section" there has not been much improvement but this is confounded with me steadily pushing the mileage. I have been slowly but surely ramping up my long runs and weekly totals. <br /><br />Thanks for your marathon prediction. Interesting you chose 49 seconds... also don't sweat my weirdo pelvic, post-section injury thingy... you have a million things on your plate whereas I just have the cocotte and too much desert on my plate :)PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-64092639698966040772010-04-26T02:10:46.399-07:002010-04-26T02:10:46.399-07:00God that sucks about your c-section. I've neve...God that sucks about your c-section. I've never heard a c-section called just a "section" before and I had to laugh out loud. But, back to all seriousness: So does it hurt underneath the area where your surgical scar was/is? Does it hurt when you press on the bone? Is it a pain deep in the pelvic area? It is only there when you run? What are you doing when it feels the worst? If you spread your legs far apart, does it hurt? Has it gotten better since your "section"? Yes, yes, I want to get to the bottom of this and I will get to the bottom of this even if it means a trip to Trieste. (oops, did I give the windy city away? :).<br /><br />My marathon prediction for SLG 3:19:49.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.com
