A member asked:
My 15 yr daughter has l5 stress fracture when can she go back to her sport?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When doc says so: This is not something to rush. An L5 spine stress fracture although not out of place, can hurt, make activity very uncomfortable and be a source of chronic pain if not managed correctly. You should follow the recommendations of your pediatric spine doctor for return to sports timing. These can often take months to improve and for return to sports. Any pain and definitely not ready.
