Is it possible to walk on a stress fracture?!
Question: Is it possible to walk on a stress fracture!?
I think I might have a stress fracture in my foot!. I twisted my ankle about 6 weeks ago and then walked a LOT on vacation!. I probably did more walking on vacation than i have done all year!. I thought it was getting better, but over the past couple of weeks it is getting worse!. I think it might be a stress fracture, but everyone I've talked to said that I wouldnt be able to walk on it if it was a stress fracture!. It hurts when i walk and I can barely put all of my weight on it!.
I am going to the docs tomorrow to get an xray, but im just wondering if its possible to walk on a stress fracture!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
it depends on the location/severity of the fracture and one's tolerance for pain!. It is probably a bad sprain/strain (muscle injury versus a bone fracture)!. they are sometimes as painful or moreso than a fracture!. the doctor will probably advise staying off of it as much as possible and taking anti-inflammatory drugs (tylenol, advil) to reduce inflammation and pain, which will help it heal!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
