Why isn't my stress fracture getting better?!
Question: Why isn't my stress fracture getting better!?
In the beginning of may 2008, I was diagnosed with 3 stress fractures in my shins, 2 in my left one in my right!. For about a week and half I was on complete crutches and didn't walk on it at all!. Then for about 3 months I used a walking boot in my left and my right was now better!. I started to run again around the end of june, and it really hurt so i went back to boot!. I wore the boot all summer and by september it was perfect!. I started swim team in september and it hurt again and i went back to the boot, then the boot made it really hurt so i stopped and wore a bandage that you use for a sprained ankle, until the end of the month, then I got a real brace that has more support and have been wearing that for about 2 weeks, now all the sudden it hurts like it did in may,!.
Please help me, if you have any suggestions any at all i would like to hear them!.

Answers:
can be a number of things, age, calcium, weight and enough rest!. you have 3 fractures, your body has to work over time to heal!. I would totally not go jogging, the reason for the pain again!. Jogging seriously stresses the shins!. Light walking fine!. Swiming is fine!. It can take a year to heal!. Don't even bother trying to jog again this year, rest, rest, be patient and make sure you keep your appointments with your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
