Don’t Stress: The Rundown On Stress Fractures

Even the strongest bones aren’t always capable of absorbing the repetitive shock of jumping and running. Whether you are a high school basketball player, 40-year-old runner, or collegiate gymnast, all active people are susceptible to a stress fracture. Stress fractures are areas of weakness in the bone that come about from repetitive impact (e.g., jogging on pavement 5 times a week) or a sudden change in activity (e.g., starting a new exercise program).  These fractures are most commonly seen in the leg, ankle or foot, and although smaller and less serious than major fractures they still cause the sufferer pain and impede activitystress-fractures-matthew-boes.

What Are The Symptoms Of A Stress Fracture?

The most common symptoms of a stress fracture are:

  • Pain, acute tenderness and swelling at the site of the injury which is more pronounced during physical activity.
  • If you have a stress fracture and continue to exercise, symptoms will begin sooner in your workout and last long after its completion.

Treatment Of Stress Fractures

The only true way to allow the stress fracture to heal is to avoid the activity that caused it.  If you think your running routine has resulted in a stress fracture, lay off your daily runs and instead cross-train with lower impact activities, such as hopping on the stationary bike or swimming laps. Additionally, anti-inflammatories and ice can help manage the pain and swelling.

If you think you could be suffering from a stress fracture or another injury call Dr. Matthew T. Boes orthopaedic surgeon today and schedule an appointment.
