Stress Fracture Recovery

Holly Firfer reports on stress fractures and the recovery process.

A very instructive article. I, too, had stress fractures, and I was careful about nutrition, recovery and rest, and I also took the amorphous calcium, because it absorbed me really well in the body so they passed pretty quickly. I keep watching myself and listening to my body.

I think I have this and watching this makes me happy.

vitamin d is also important for absorbing calcium...don't forget to check your vitamin d levels ..spent half an hour in sun regulary

If I had known this when I was younger I would have refrained from rigorous exercises or sports which eventually takes its wear and tear on the body. Anything extreme eventually leads to injury.

I've had shin pain for like 2 years and I ignored it until I got an x Ray and I've had a fracture. I went through basketball and track season thinking it was just shin splints

It's depressing that they show dairy when referring to foods high in calcium, the cholesterol and inflammation from these substances will fight against your recovery. The best healthy calcium sources are legumes (especially soy), dark greens (spinach, kale, broccoli), and nuts/seeds.

So I play soccer and I haven't been running or doing much activity due to a stress fracture.I had shin splints initially but I kept on running on it .The stress fracture is on the lower area in the inside of my right leg and it is still abit swollen. I've been icing it for about 2 months and shin excersises.What else should I do?

While Vitamin D helps the intestine absorb Calcium, Vitamin K2 helps the Calcium get absorbed into the bone rather than remain in the blood stream.
