Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. They're caused by repetitive force, often from overuse - such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures can also develop from normal use of a bone that's weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
Swelling and pain that worsen over time are the main symptoms. Treatment includes a walking boot, brace or crutches to reduce the bone's weight-bearing load.
