Stress fractures are common injuries for runners with pain starting as they begin to run and progressively becoming more painful and localized. OrthoCarolina Physician Assistant Matt Dobler of the Sports Medicine Center knows about stress fractures all too well as a former competitive cross country runner at UNC Charlotte.
Stress fracture symptoms often feature a sharp aching pain in or near the bone. The painful area can typically be pinpointed with one finger and often improves with rest.
