Stress Fracture; How long can i play through at what cost?!
Question: Stress Fracture; How long can i play through at what cost.?
Is it possible to play 8 months of intense sports with a stress fracture without worsening the injury.? I'm talking senior + rep teams
I got the original fracture in may, and then they said it healed, then i re fractured it, then it healed again then i re fractured it again.
Basically, can i play through a stress fracture for 8 months, of senior basketball, and volleyball and rep basketball, without any major consequences, and how long am i looking at in a cast.? Health Question & Answer

Answers:
depends on the bone some bones heal faster, and how bad it is.
major consequences are, when it heals it will heal in an odd position, and cause pain until you have surgery. (that is if the fracture progresses)
you can try taping in during games and practice, and use crutches when you're not playing, to prevent and other stress on the fracture.
a cast now would probably be 4-6 weeks.Health Question & Answer

no, thats why it is called a STRESS fracture. it is caused by overworking a bone. if you just let it heal the problem will go away.Health Question & Answer
