Leg pain—

I was really enjoying the JRD max plan and seeing good progress in my endurance. Pretty early on I experienced soreness in my right Achilles tendon. Wasn’t terrible and resolved with a day or two of rest and NSAIDs.

About a month and half in to jump rope, I developed shin pain that worsened after jumping rope and persisted several days at rest. PCP said these could be micro fractures and I really need to lay off for about a month. Did anyone else on here experience something similar and get through it? I’m thinking I might have to pivot to swimming long term.

Thanks
