I've only been running since May, slowly building up my miles for a half marathon that I'm taking part in next month. I'm now sitting just under 9miles. I try to run 2-3 times a week.
Prior to running I had the occasional period that was accompanied by SPD like pain. My GP suggested that it probably was and that I could self refer to the physio if I wanted to. I stupidly didn't. I had SPD when I was pregnant 6yrs ago.
The last month/6weeks has been constant and I'm now waiting for an appointment but I'm really concerned with just over 3 weeks till the half that I'm not training yet the pain is at it's strongest. I've only done 2 miles this week with my last long run being 10 days ago.
Realistically is this game over for my half? Can anyone offer advice for this? I'm taking ibuprofen but I have sphincter of the oddi so can't tolerate too much medicine, I've also be icing it and trying to be mindful of how I'm sat.
TIA
