I have a stress fracture in my foot...?!


Question: was diagnosed 4 weeks ago. I work on my feet all day and all doc said was to keep wearing my boots vs. sneakers. Went back today, x-ray still the same. I feel a little improvement, though. He gave me this big obnoxious boot thing to wear to work. I'm wondering if getting sit-down work for a few weeks would be good enough. I'm hating the thought of wearing that brace if there is an alternative. I think my boss could set me up with something else to do for awhile if thats the other choice. At least I'm hoping. Do you think it has a chance of healing with just reduced activity?

It's definitely better to not take chances and use the brace the doctor gave you, especially since the x-ray hasn't shown improvement over the past 4 weeks.
