Swelling: Ankle swelling is a bit unusual for a stress fracture - but you didn't say where the stress fracture is either. See your podiatrist for assistance and treatment. Good luck.

Swelling: The cause of the swelling needs to be determined. Stress fractures may create some residual swelling, but your local doctor should exam you. The compression rating for the stocking may be too low as well.
