Don't Ignore A Stress Fracture: Symptoms and Treatment

[@deankay4434]

In Junior High I had a 6" growing spurt. The first football game I played, I was down, hit late & broke my ankle. Dr said no football as my bones had not hardened. I ran cross-country or long distance and practiced on gravel roads, wear converse tennis shoes in 1970. Now, 40 years later, I was wearing dress shoes and hurt. The Dr sold me inserts which hurt worse. He said I had 7 old stress fractures in the long bones of the left, 9 in the right foot. Now, into my 64 year, the top of my feet are red. They don't hurt but are concerning. I was in the 7,000 mile club before leaving high school and did the same in college which added another 2,500 miles. Our team took first in the nation as 5 & 6 mile long distance courses were normal. It was common to run 5 miles in 25 minutes flat. Plus, a state record of 4:10.09 in the mile. It still stands as the high school was small, so 5 classes then changed to meters. I take a blood thinner, have no pain, actually don't I don't wear socks. I sleep with feet elevated but nothing changes. I am not worried but my family freaks out with some swelling but the RED color. Suggestions? Thanks (Dec, 2022)

This is exactly me. I went to urgent care and they saw nothing on xray. However I have all the signs you mentioned. I’m trying to heal. Thank you for this video!

Is it possible for a dress fracture not to show on the MRI but show on an ultrasound and x-ray?

Best synopsis of stress fracture (foot) on the internet.

[@svatekzprahy]

yep.

[@petekadenz9465]

Thank you, that was really helpful.

[@melkwa9524]

well said.. too many doctors don't know how to properly diagnose . resulting in delayed healing.. What u said are all spot on! 5 months after 1st diagnosis.. n yet healing.. looks like a relapsed as a result of carrying weight bearing stuffs

[@bluemarvel4601]

My stress fracture has been going on since January 2022 I guess the older I get the slower I heal, I'm getting my 2nd MRI to see what the problem is

[@sivasankar3349]

[@svatekzprahy]

i have swelling and pain on the underside of my big toe, but how do i know if it's either a stress fracture or gout? the issue is not at the base of the toe. it's more in the centre/middle of the bottom of the toe. I also get an intense feeling of pressure building up in the toe when I stand up and my blood pressure increases. The feeling of pressure in my toe is so intense it feels like my toe is about to explode, the pain is extreme. What should I look for in determining whether it's gout or a stress fracture?

What was it bro?

[@donnafletcher5386]

I have all the symptoms you are talking about, but it is on the bottom of my left foot under the big toe.

[@RionBergDPM]

It's important to see you local podiatrist to get it checked out.

[@dennyblank6035]

Would you install carpet in someone’s house for free? He spent a lot of years and a ton of money on school. Ofcourse it is not free. Be lucky you got a video at all. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mini8334]
