Anyone had this injury and how long did it take too heal properly. I know stress fractures can vary in severity,but I just want an idea of how long it was before you could start your road work again. Been X-rayed twice now and due my next one on the 29th,although being honest I rested it for about 9 weeks and then started to run again twice a week max.(3 miles).Still slightly swollen and there is still a bump on the shin bone.
I've got a stress fracture in my 3rd metatarsal... figuring about 6 weeks. I've been stuck on the exercise bike, can hardly even hit the heavy bag. You probably want to stop running. Best bet is to stick with your doctor's recommendation.
