I will give my tips to be able to recover from stress fractures based on my experience. I suffered from a stress fracture about 1 year ago.. it turns out that the main cause is because my calves and ankles are not strong enough to support my weight when running, so I have to rest my feet for 3 full months, every day I compress my feet with ice 2 times a day. 20 minutes per leg. after 3 months i started retraining my legs from the base, my calves and ankles.. i practiced hurdle jumps, box jumps, tuck jumps, jump squats, calf raises and going up and down stairs about 5 times a week..i do it more or less 1 month..after that I started to increase my training by endurance running from 15 minutes non-stop to 1 hour non-stop, I did it for about 2 months and even I didn't feel any more stress fractures in my legs..after that I started go into my main workout which is 5 km running, while I also do calf and ankle exercises and endurance running on different days..and NOW I am free from stress fractures, I never feel that way now..maybe this experience of mine can help someone others who have the same problem as me..as I said before, you have a stress fracture maybe because your calf and ankle are not strong enough to support the weight.. so focus on strengthening it..

How much time it took to recover??

Thanks, Ama!

I would say just making your training a bit more well-rounded and increasing strength in the hips will help remove some impact from the femurs. The stress reaction could be a simple result of tired or unfocused running form. Give this video a look specifically for hip strength: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNhkodeCr8qUkXk.html You could also give our 30 Day Challenge a look here: therunexperience.com/training-plans/30-day-challenge

Sound should be much better in all recent videos :) thanks for watching!

Not a physical therapist so maybe someone can correct me on this; however, inflammation has more mechanisms than just to make your tissues swell (which is a result of increase permeability that leads to more local interstitial fluid and blood flow) Part of it is also the mast cell producing cytokines that attracts other macrophages to help with removal of debris, which benefits from that increased permeability. Compression socks is more or less there to provide the pressure to push those interstitial fluid back into the vasculature or allow less room for fluid to build up that could have compartmentalizing effect. So in a way you still want to take advantage of the body's natural healing process that comes with inflammation while trying to minimize the localized edema portion out of the equation.

Sorry to hear that, Maggie! A number of years ago I was dealing with back-to-back metatarsal stress fractures, and I know just how frustrating it is. One of the mistakes I made was trying to come back to activity too soon after the first stress fracture and caused the second- oops! I'd suggest working with both a sports physiotherapist and a nutritionist. After some digging, we realized I was dealing with RED-S (formerly known as the female athlete triad), which was making me prone to bone injuries and can be a common cause of repeat stress fractures. Good luck healing and finding some answers! - Paige

The Run Experience hi Paige , thanks for the reply , yep you are are dead right , I’m over training , undernourished and I’ve amenorrhea. I will take your advise and go to a nutritionist etc Thank you 🙏😊

The hardest part of fixing that is already over- you're aware of and focused on the issue! This could maybe be a result of lack of ankle mobility on the left side. Take a look at this video on the single leg squat- covers strength, mobility and control of the ankle and should make a big difference in your running if practiced regularly! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpN5a7io256xn4U.html

I have something very similar. I am doing strength training along with recovery and it is working fine. How long did it take to completely heal? I still have pain when I apply pressure to it so how long did that last?

Landing "flat" is what we're going for, though of course we all have different foot/arch builds. Building the strength and endurance in the motion and repetition of that "flat foot strike" will help to enhance a safer, stronger running form. In other words, the exercise is in the CONCEPT of the flat foot strike, not the actual aesthetic of a completely flat foot (with zero arch) hitting the ground. Good question!

vitamin D levels

We would suggest getting it looked at if the swelling doesn't go away with light movement.
