GenRep,
The edema that I dealt with last year resulted with me wearing a walking cast for almost 8 weeks and restrictions on running for a period of time after that. Looking back on it and have fully recovered from it, I realize now that it was indeed from overtraining/overuse. I was training with rather heavy weights and increasing my mileage and intensity of my runs both at the same time with little regard for the recovery required from such a training schedule. Going from no cardio to pushing hard to get back into 14:00 2mile times while also working around 500lbs squatting and deadlifting did not end up being the smartest approach to my goals.
I was very resistant to follow the physicians instructions, but, staying off it was necessary and did the trick. Good luck.
