How can i maintain fitness through a stress fracture in the right lower leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non weightbearing: Non weight bearing activity such as light cycling, swimming and weight lifting (while sitting and lying down). Discuss with your doctor. Will probably be able to gradually increase stress as symptoms resolve. Dr l.
