Today's question comes from Priscilla, after she watched the video “Proof you do not have to stop running with a metatarsal stress response.”  She says: “I am a distance runner, I got a fourth metatarsal stress fracture, I was in the boot 3 months. X-ray is showing some healing but not 100%. I have been walking but I fear it will open up again. Is pain and fear of putting full pressure without the boot normal? I want to run, it is frustrating.” Is pain and fear normal after a fourth metatarsal stress fracture?  Well, that is a good question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
