Question 1

can a stress fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone 2yrs develop a cyst, walk at unusually fast pace at work(8-10 miles a day)on concrete *pics* ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but unusual: Stress fractures of the metatarsals are much more common than the cuneiform bones but they can happen w/walking, esp if you have increased the amount u walk.Hope u get better!

Question 2

how can i tell if i have shin splints or a medial stress fracture?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: A bone scan or MRI is diagnostic of a stress reaction or fracture. Plain X-rays will reveal it if it is severe and prolonged enough.

SHin splints represent an inflammation of the periosteum where the muscles attach to the tibial. Stress reactions indicate that the amount of street you are putting on the tbia exceeds the body's ability to heal it.

If you hop on the effected leg and hurts see doc

Question 3

i had a stress fracture of the femoral medial condoyle with severe edema. i used a waker 10 weeks to put minimal weight and now am using a knee brace at times; sometimes a cane. walking with no aids at all feels uncomfortable. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: You need to report back to your doctor. The fracture should have healed(under normal conditions) within that amount of time. (6 weeks). You should make sure fracture has healed and not displaced. Rehab is what is required at this time.

Question 4

i'm a runner and started having shin pain. there's a large indent along my tibia (medial) with a lump to the side of it. sound like a stress fracture?

Accepted Answer

Possible: But i'm having a real hard time with your description telling if the indent is on the bone or in the muscle area. You could have a fascial defect as well that is causing pain in the same area. At any rate, it should be looked at by a doctor because the treatment for the stress fracture would be rest while the treatment for the other defect would be therapy.

Question 5

i have a lateral maellous fracture that is closed with medial stress fracture i am in a short leg non walking cast still a lot of bruising swelling?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It is normal to still have swelling and bruising after a fracture.  If the swelling has increased/continued and is causing significant discomfort please go to your doctor,urgent care, or ER for cast removal.  The increased swelling constricts the ankle in the cast and can cause circulation issues/tissue damage.

Question 6

will stress fracture cause physeal injury?

Accepted Answer

Possiblyi: If the stress fracture involves the physis, then it can cause injury.  A fracture close to, but not in the physis, can also stimulate the bone to grow longer than the other side.

Question 7

stress fracture pain hasn't gone away after two weeks?

Accepted Answer

Too soon...: Your body is just beginning to heal the fracture at this time.  Normally the fracture site is stable after 5-6 weeks, but then more bone will be laid down and then remodeled at the fracture site. Be patient, it's going to take a while.

Question 8

should a stress fracture stop hurting and start again?

Accepted Answer

Can, if insufficient: Time is given to treat it, allowing it to heal completely. If not completely healed it'll recur.

Question 9

are there stretches and exercises to help a stress fracture?

Accepted Answer

Rest!: Whlle stretching the surrounding musculature can be of benefit in maintaining  flexibility during recovery from a stress fracture the best treatment for the injury is rest. In order to keep your overall fitness consider aerobic activities that are low impact and focus on areas of the body away from the injury.

Question 10

please explain what does a stress fracture feel like or a normal fracture?

Accepted Answer

Motion at fracture: A stress fracture by definition is still an intact bone issue, whereas a normal full fracture entails a bone break in to at least two parts (or more). The full fracture creates a region of potential motion (painful) at the fracture site with instability that will likely require immobilization. stress fractures can certainly be painful, but no motion is sensed at the stress fracture site.
