Stress Fracture and Cartilidge is bruised maybe torn

I've had 4 stress fractures in my shins and yea it's usually 6-8 weeks... I had a bone stimulator for the last two and that helped speed up recovery, but I suggest checking in with doctor and he will give you the clear. Also use crutches like they say, I hated them and chose to walk around after a week of using them and it ended up coming back as a stress reaction spot. They put an end to my track career.

Best of luck with a quick recover!
