My orthopedist's office just got back to me. I only talked to my doctor's secretary, but she said he'd reviewed my MRI, and there was a stress fracture in my talus. No running at all until my appointment on 5/2, at which point he'll go over it in detail with me, blah blah.
On one hand I'm relieved to have a dx. My PT was getting frustrated because I improved, but it was slow and not as complete as it should've been over the course of 2 months. I was frustrated too. It's now been almost 3 months since it probably happened, and I was starting to doubt myself on whether I was imagining the pain.
On the other hand, this means more time off. That part sucks.
Re: Update: it is a stress fracture.
If you can still swim, I have heard that this DVD is a life saver for injured runners:

I didn't ask about swimming, but I'm pretty sure it's ok. I specifically asked if cycling was ok, and the answer to that was yes. (Phew.) I will look into that dvd.
I sure hope so. I don't know when they start counting the number of weeks of rest -- the initial injury, the last time I ran,...?
I'm sure I'll know more when I go for my next app't.
