A member asked:
Can emotional stress cause a stress fracture at the foot? didnt do any sports, did not fall, was no trauma at all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The "stress" in stress fracture refers to a mechanical stress, not an emotional state. Stress fractures are caused by multiple small injuries to the foot. Typically a sports injury. The injuries may be so slight that you don't even notice them, walking long distances for example.
