Just what I wanted ..
NOT!!!
Finally went to the foot doctor today.. **
After a month of hobbling around. Diagnosis Stress fractures in right foot.. REMEDY: Cast for 2 week. **
Once identified the stress fracture usually responds readily to treatment. Treatment usually includes some t ype of immobilization commonly with what we refer to as a soft cast. This may be accompanied by a special shoe to fit over the soft cast to help immobilize the foot. This must be done in conjunction with a decreased activity level. *** This is usually left in place for about two weeks and \ then a smaller bandage can be applied. After this initial three week period of immobilization ( soft cast wrapping) and surgical shoe,activity must be kept to a minimum for a total of six weeks to allow the area to heal. The above is a general description of the treatment..
