I have a stress fracture but i want to keep playing sports without worsening the injury?

Wouldnt suggest: If you have a lower extremity stress fracture i don't think you should be playing sports, if you do, there is the possibility that the fracture could worsen or displace and make a relatively minor problem much more serious.
