A member asked:
Can you still feel pain while your stress fracture is healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the fracture is in the healing process and has not healed through yet then patients may have pain. It should lessen over time as long as it is in the proper anatomical position for healing. Make sure to continue following all the instructions your provider gave you for the complete length of healing process and definitely follow up!
