Stress Fracture - Presentation

Presentation

Stress fractures usually have only a few symptoms. A stress fracture could present as a generalized area of pain and tenderness associated with weight bearing. Usually when running, a stress fracture in the leg or foot will cause severe pain at the beginning of the run, moderate pain in the middle of the run, and severe pain at the end and after the run. After running it may just feel like shin splints, but in a very concentrated area. Occasionally, darkening or bruising will be seen at the site.
