Bit the bullet and paid for a consultation with a private Doc. She’s a running specialist in her 70s.
Really useful and positive experience. She doesn’t think there’s a tear, just a load of inflammation of my adductor on the left.
Worst case scenario is that I need a cortisol injection.
What was especially heartening was her attitude to running and cycling and just going at it as much as you can. Her approach was do the rehab work and get running after a proper amount of healing, but don’t stop cycling.
She told me I was built for endurance and I should be doing it until I drop. It was good to hear rather than the kind of veiled scorn I have experienced from other Drs who infer that at my age I should be taking it easy.
