What If I Run On a Stress Fracture - By San Francisco Sports Medicine Podiatrist.m4v

Many runners who notice pain or bruising in the foot will wonder if they have a stress fracture in the foot. In this video, San Francisco Podiatrist and Ironman triathlete (Dr. Christopher Segler) explains what happen if you run on a metatarsal stress fracture.

This is all absolutely spot on. I suffered a stress fracture on my 3rd metatarsal from a run last Friday, only having had it X-Rayed and diagnosed today. Fortunately it's very minor compared with what's shown in the video, but still very painful. For the next 6-8 weeks I'm going to be hitting the gym just to use the bikes and do some rowing.

I'm in the army and got a stress fracture in the beginning of basic training, i continued to run on it for 5 months through airborne school and RASP. and now it's to the point it will never anywhere close to where it once was. so DON'T TOUGH THROUGH THE PAIN, GET IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

If you're getting a stress fracture in your 5th metatarsal, then you need to learn how to run the way we were designed to.

I have a mild stress fracture in either my fibula or tibia. It doesnt hurt when I run, but it is sensitive when I touch it or do squats with weights. Any advice such as healing time etc?

I'm 15 I don't know if I have a stress Fracture, I was playing football and after I finished I noticed my foot was hurting, but I kept doing sprinting and playing football and I never feel any pain in my foot, but when I put my foot on it's side, an unusual position which I never put my foot in I felt a pain and that pain has never gone away, I still play football and do sprinting but I never feel pain but when I put my foot in that unusual side position the pain is still there,Any ideas.
