Symptoms of Stress Fracture

Pain, swelling, and tenderness near the broken bone

Pinpoint pain on touching the fractured bone

Pain due to extended hours of activity that subsides with rest

Pain lingers even after the completion of the activity

Constant pain while walking, resting, or any other activity

Pain due to skewed balance as the body weight is borne entirely by the healthy foot

The initial stage of a stress fracture is referred to as a stress reaction. Lack of treatment during this stage may cause severe discomfort due to displacement of the fractured bone and, in some instances, may require surgery.

Diagnosis of Stress Fracture

The doctor needs to carry out several tests to confirm your condition is a stress fracture and gauge its severity.

Physical Checkup

The doctor conducts a physical examination of the area. He may also ask for relevant details such as:

Your medical history

Your field of work and other related activities

Any other ailment you may have

X-Ray

The doctor may advise an x-ray of the fracture. However, the tiny cracks in the bone may not be visible in the image, but once the healing process starts, the callus that forms on the cracks is visible. This helps the doctor to understand how well the fracture is healing.

Bone Scan

If the x-ray images are inconclusive, the doctor may do a bone scan. In the procedure, a radioactive element tracer is injected into the bloodstream. It gives better visibility as the affected bone appears darker.

MRI

For a detailed investigation, you may have to undergo an MRI. The images are more precise, and the procedure is faster and does not include radiation exposure.
