Question:
If any one has had a stress fracture, how did you get it? What were your symptoms and treatment? Thanks!?
I think i have one but not sure. I just started basketball again and my foot kills!
Answers:
a stress fracture is always caused by some type of traumatic incident - in simpler terms, you did something that would usually sprain your ankle but it was more force than that. or something heavy smashed your foot.
symptoms of a stress fracture in your foot would be intense pain to the point that you may be unable to bear weight, swelling, warmth in that area, etc.
if you can walk on it, run on it - even if it is uncomfortable - then i would be apt to say you don't have a stress fracture, BUT seeing this is over the internet, i can't diagnose you. if you truly are worried go to your MD. treatment includes resting your foot and about a week or two of ibuprofen. also you would have to probably wrap your foot and ice it to keep the swelling down. would you require a cast? probably not but again, you need some type of imaging to ensure that.
hope that helps you a little.
