How to know if i have a stress fracture in my toe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes : This is difficult. An xray may not always reveal, so serial xrays may be needed, a bone scan can help aid diagnosis as can an mri. Oftentimes, history is helpful to be used in combination with diagnostic testing.
