No running 4-6 weeks.
That’s right. It was
considered a “minor procedure” at the dermatologist office. I’m not injured. Well I’m getting an MRI next week on the same
foot but that hasn’t been stopping me.
The foot is a highly sensitive, complex structure made up of
26 bones, 19 large muscles, many smaller intrinsic muscles, and more than 100
ligaments. The two main functions of the
foot are support and propulsion. When
running, each foot comes into contact with the ground approximately 75 to 100
times per minute. The force when your
foot makes contact with the ground can be over 2.5 times your body weight!
All that pounding apparently is not good for the location of my incision. Dr. Liska told
me how much I rest and elevate the next 48 hours would have an effect on how
quickly I recover. External stitches
will be removed in 2 weeks; internal stiches will dissolve within 4-6
weeks. Sweet.
