As it is, I'm awaiting the results with baited breath. Honestly, I want something to be obviously wrong so I know what I can and can't do at this point. My leg used to go numb just after running. I stopped running for over three weeks and the same problem started occurring on the bike and even during some recent swim sessions. I went to one swim workout this week and used a pull buoy the whole time so that I wouldn't kick. When I ride the computrainer, I watch my leg power go from 50%/50% to 55%/45% within an hour. Something is blocking something. Frustrating to say the least.
All I can say is watch the "eff" out because this bitch may be headed your way soon!!!

MRI=magnetic resonance image; MRA=magnetic resonance angiography. Same technology, but the latter is used to visualize blood vessels specifically. I guess they're thinking it's something vascular? Sucks. I hope you can back to running soon. I've been nursing an injury too, and not being able to run is like taking drugs away from an addict. :(
i bet guru would make you one!!
wishing you a speedy recovery!

Carrie, I wish you well whatever your results may be.
Honestly for me, sometimes I want them to find something wrong with me so that I could have an actual legit diagnosis, instead of a vague, well maybe you should do this or see how you feel kind of recovery plan. Playing the guessing, sometimes takes longer..
Get well soon!
I think Emily is along the right path. There is a difference between an MRI, an MRA, and an MRIa with the MRIa likely being what you got. I had to get a normal MRI on my shoulder when I had issues and then I went back 3 weeks later to get an MRIa and I also had the dye injected into my shoulder.
Ack, sorry to hear this issue affecting more than just your running now!
good luck...I am warned.... you could kill me
Whatever did you bait your breath with? Hummus?
I hope you get a good report.
(it's "bated" as in "abated" and yes that is the ONE word usage I point out to people because almost everyone in the whole wide world thinks it is "baited".)
Hope the prognosis is good. Either way, just try to take all of that training determination and apply it to rehab.
