Stress Fractures Reported by the Foot Institute

 

Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2014 -- Have you ever had a stress fracture? This type of fracture can happen to many different bones in the body such as in your foot, arm, ribs, spine, leg, etc. This typically occurs in athletes and those who repeatedly put their body and bones under stress. According to an article by KYforward.com, it is common among athletes, but it can happen to anyone! Another focused group of people that might experience stress fractures are those who have nutritional deficiencies or just weaker bones than most.

Symptoms of a stress fracture include pain in the area, tenderness to the touch, and discomfort or pain that will not go away with sleep or during day-to-day activities. Most people try to "push through" their fractures, not knowing that it can be further ruining their bone.

Ways that you can treat your stress fractures on your own include icing the area every fifteen to twenty minutes, your average pain relievers such as ibuprofen or an aspirin, and keeping off of your feet as much as possible for the next six to eight weeks.
