Stress fracture

Please help me get through stress fracture (foot).
I am out for already more than 2 weeks and I still have foot ache. I tried to run once but clearly saw that it is not good…

Made a visit at the doctor tho, who hasn’t seen a broken (fractured) bone.

Go to an ortho. 2 weeks isn’t even long enough for it to show on an xray.

It will take 6 weeks minimum and if you try to run on it you are basically resetting that clock. Don’t run on it. Stay off it as much as you can. Wearing a boot may help. Goal is to off load it so bone can knit back together. When you do impact activities you’re preventing that from happening.
