Due to osteoporosis, women are more prone to stress fractures than me
n. This is compounded by two other common conditions in women: eating
disorders and irregular menstrual cycles. The two symptoms can add to
the building up of osteoporosis, which is not only a condition for eld
erly women but can occur in early on. Now, this is not to say men aren
't also susceptible to stress fractures, because they can get them, it
's just important for women to be aware of the increased risk of stres
s fractures.
The long bones in the foot that go from the middle of the foot to the
toes (a.k.a. the metatarsals) is the most frequent spot for a stress
fracture in the foot. The heel or the location known as the navicular
(which is on top of the midfoot) can also experience a stress fracture
. Due to an insufficient amount of blood flow, the fractures in this b
one are not easy or fast to cure. Some common symptoms you may experie
nce should you suffer a stress fracture are pain that starts gradually
, gets worse with weight-bearing activities and slowly gets better wit
h rest, possible swelling, tenderness to touch and possible bruising.
If you have a foot pain, you can't remember doing anything to hurt it
in the recent past, and you frequently participate in physical activi
ties like the ones described above or you've just started exercising m
ore often, you should consider seeing a podiatrist. He/she can perform
a few simple tests in the office to rule out other possible causes an
d will be able to pick up on a stress fracture, should that indeed be
what is causing you problems. Your podiatrist will be able to give you
the proper treatment and help you get back to your normal activities
as soon as possible.
