They took a few more x-rays and the doctor agreed with the ER that there were no broken bones. After doing some tests, he thinks that it's just a really bad bone bruise, which can take 2-3 months to heal (blech!). Apparently I'm an 80 year old woman because I'm not on arthritis medicine and a topical anti-inflammatory cream. He said if the pain isn't gone in 6 week so to come back and get an MRI done to make sure that there wasn't any cartilage damage.
So, I'm taking it easy on the running front for the time being. I will be able to do short runs every now and then, but he doesn't want me to do anything strenuous. I need to get a couple more 10k runs in to try and get a decent time for Wine & Dine, so I'll take it easy and try to get at least one in.
So, not the best update, but I'm just glad that it seems like nothing is seriously wrong with my knee. I hope the pain goes away soon!
