It took about 8 wks to diagnose I saw 2 different Drs. the second one my regular Dr. put me on a course of ibuprofen 3 times a day and yes, that seemed to help some but any over use or extra walking made it very sore. He also said if this does not help after 2 wks go get an xray(should have done that right away)Which I fiannly did and everyone inclding my Dr. was very surprised that it was actually broke. Now I finally know that it is indeed a stress fracture and am on crutches for at least 2 more weeks(it has already been 2 wks). This injury has been going on way too long if I would have gone for an xray right away I might be almost healed by now. Can't wait to be active again I am not good to all this sitting around.......
