Tibial stress fracture not healing
I have had a tibial stress fracture for 10 weeks. Was told by my doctor okay to put weight on it (e.g. Work, activities of daily living). Didnt cross train or anything which was devastating because I was a 6 day a week runner for over a year and have big goals. Just repeated the mri and the stress fracture is WORSE!! Dexa and endocrine/hormonal labs normal. 3000 cals a day but certainly on the low end of normal on the bmi scale. Let myself gain 6 pounds so far just trying to heal and didnt cheat once. This is heartbreaking. Trying to non weight bear with a scooter for this next 6 week block. Just curious if any of you have had anything similar. At this point looks like there is nothing “wrong” but it is far from better and I dont feel confident at all when my doctor says “wow this is wild its not healed.” Really? Discouraged but trying to be a positive light for my running community and kids.
