Can't seem to catch a break

Almost as soon as my PC diagnosis was made, I determined to get myself in shape. I began walking on the local HS track, and was soon able to run for three of the 5-6 miles I would do 4-5 times a week. I felt great, substantially stronger and mentally up for the challenging winter I was about to face.

Of course, the running caused a stress fracture just under my left knee and now I can barely walk. After the pain refused to subside, an MRI confirmed what I already knew.

Is it legal to have this much fun?

I found it interesting that everyone except my doctor wanted me to lose weight and get in shape before surgery. My GP said don't push it, too much change too fast is not good for anyone. I settled for walking a lot, which I did do in the past.

Having had a winter recovery, getting out to run wouldn't happen anyway -

My bone scan came back lit up like a Christmas tree in my legs - they found every broken bone I'd ever had, and a few I didn't even remember. That reminded me why I don't like sports.

GTO, 

     Too bad you injured yourself exercising.  Getting in shape, prior to your surgery, is a great idea.  It will speed your recovery and reduce your need to wear pads.  Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
