In early 2016, I developed an injury called Osteochondral lesions or osteochondritis dissecans. These lesions can occur in any joint but are most common in the knee and ankle. Such lesions are a tear or fracture in the cartilage covering one of the bones in a joint. The cartilage can be torn, crushed or damaged and, in rare cases, a cyst can form in the cartilage. In the ankle, osteochondral lesions usually occur on the talus, which is the bone that connects the leg to the foot. I suffered such an injury when I had a bad inward ankle turn during a 100-mile race. At the time, I didn’t realize the severity of the injury. After taking a long rest and walking it off the best I could, I persevered and decided to continue running. Given the potential seriousness of my injury, I feel it was the year of running that followed which caused me the greatest harm. I was training with discomfort and from there it got progressively worse. In
2016, after developing Osteochondral lesions and before getting the results back from an MSK Ultrasound and an MRI; I made an error in judgement. I thought I would take it easy the following year by running 50km races strictly for training purposes. This was still time on my feet which I did not need. What I needed was time off my feet. Not yet realizing the seriousness of the ankle injury and the potential for long term damage, I ran 6 – 50km races and one 50-mile race. As if this wasn’t enough, I entered the Sinister 7, 100-mile race in Blairmore, AB. None of my races were personal bests. In fact, they were far from it. In my mind I ran them easy, strictly for training and maintaining. However, every race was a struggle for the duration of the year. The result of this was the development of a Talar Dome Lesion. I continued to run while managing it with treatments but I developed tendinosis in the right ankle and in my left knee in the process. As a countermeasure, I changed my gait. The consequence was additional physical shortcomings ensued by further injury. During this entire time, I estimate I was running at less than 50% of what I would consider “normal” for me. I was in constant pain and discomfort, and I pulled out of the Sinister 7, 100-mile race, at 93 miles. I ran a few races in addition after resting through the autumn and winter months until I was stopped in my tracks and physically unable to run. The origination of my injury was the inward ankle turn. I didn’t take the appropriate measures for rest and rehabilitation at the initial time of the incident and this was my downfall. I still suffer chronic tendinosis in my left knee. This is currently being treated by Dr. Siebel’s Prolotherapy, IMS and Trigger Point treatments; like the way my right ankle has been treated and is being treated. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Siebel’s treatments and I feel that he has helped my recovery immensely. Contrary to what is said, cartilage can be rebuilt through these treatments and ligaments can be tightened. Tendons can also be rehabilitated. My left leg is weaker than my right. As a result, my right leg has been my dominant leg for more than two and a half decades of training and racing.
