Carried on racing and training on it, but it suddenly got alot worse, injured my calf too, rested for ages, tried running again, in agony. Ordered to not run/cycle for a month (I suspect thats the minimum time to allow inflammation to go down to xray hip). I am counting down the days and doing upper body strength training instead. How long did they say until your results back?
