A member asked:

What is a stress fracture like in an ankle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress fracture: Stress fractures typically are painful through out activity, including simple walking or standing. There is also swelling overlying the area where the suspected stress fracture may be. This is something i would follow up with a foot/ankle doctor to have an x-ray taken.

Dr Wang and another doctor agreed
