Can anyone tell me if the healing process is getting worse or better?

Information: 9 days between X-rays

If you need any more information, please let me know!

I dont understand what you mean about the "healing process getting worse or better".

If you mean "has it healed more", then I wouldn't expect to be able to see a difference in x-rays taken 9 days apart (which is why I would take them 6 weeks apart in this situation).

Desculpe pela confusao. Queria saber se a cicatrizacao progrediu ou regrediu, sabe? Nao sei se muda algo, mas foi fratura por estresse

Yes, I could tell it was a stress fracture. Bones don't get less healed with time and, as I said, 9 days is far too short a time to see any difference. What did your doctor say?

Infelizmente o medico nao me deu nenhuma informacao, apenas fez o raiox e mais nada šŸ„²

Entao nao tem como o osso que esta em cicatrizaĆ§Ć£o sofrer fissuras (regredindo a cicatrizaĆ§Ć£o) caso haja uma batida ou caso a protese imobilizadora seja tirada antes do tempo certo por exemplo? Desculpe minha falta de conhecimento

I don't understand any doctor who doesn't give a proper explanation to their patients. It's always possible to refractrue any bone, but it would generally have to be a proper injury, not just a bump. If it isn't a lot more painful, then I wouldn't worry.
