A member asked:
If diagnosed with stress fracture in the pubis ramis, what else could that be besides a stress fracture?

Osteitis pubis: Abdominal muscles pulling on the periosteum of the symphysis pubis can cause inflammation to the bone and cause pain. This is much more common than a stress fracture of the pubis. Treatment is initially symptomatic with withdrawal of the exercise or activity precipitating the pain and Ibuprofen to manage discomfort and inflammation. Associated fever, redness, etc suggests osteomyelitis pubis.

Activity modifacatio: Modify activities below the threshold of symptoms. See an ortho doc. May need bone density eval too.
