Repetitive stress fractures
by quickkaren, Nov 05, 2009 02:13PM
Dear Dr.,
I am a 44 year old white female. I do low-impact exercises. I do not run. I had a stress fx in the left foot metatarsal area in August and now have the same thing in my right foot. I didn't know what other forum to put this in. An orthopedic dr. told me it is unheard of to have this happening, especially since I'm not a runner. I had a bone density test that showed mild osteopenea, so he doesn't think that's the cause. Do you have any ideas? I don't want to have my feet constantly fractured!
Thanks,
Quickkaren
