question: I had a stress fracture in my proximal fibula about a year and a half ago while playing football. It was misdiagnosed at first, so it was re-broken multiple times. Eventually it was casted and healed . It felt perfect for a while and I played all of the playoffs, but for the last half a year, i ve been having chronic pain shooting up and down the fibula. I ve had multiple x rays and an MRI that all check out fine. It is apparent on the images that the bone has not formed completely, but it is strong. Two orthopedic specialists have told me they don t know why it hasn t healed completely and aren t exactly sure what to do because it is such a rare injury. One recommended a bone stimulator. I m just looking for another opinion on what treatment options are out there.
