Give it a rest : stress fractures occur when repetitive force makes bone re absorb. Your osteoblasts which make new bone are overwhelmed by osteoclasts which remove bone. This process is a balance between bone makers ( osteoblasts ) and bone removers (osteoclasts). You should keep your conditioning swimming or biking for cardio and stop running until you have no symptoms and then wait six weeks more for the bone
