biking with a stress fracture??
A friend of mine's DR. told him that biking is a good form of exercise
during the period of a healing stress fracture in his foot. Does anyone have anything to say about this, for or against? |

Should be fine, as long as he uses a very stiff sole, doesn't stand and mash much, and lets pain (or lack thereof) be his guide. Bill "Doctor BS" S. |

I had a stress fracture of a finger... and it wouldn't heal .. so i
got a cast that was moulded to fit the handlebars... and it took about 6 weeks to heal. Stress fractures are very different from cracks or complete fractures... the bone is actually breaking down in the area of the stress fracture and will continue to do so without rest or some kind of protection ( like a cast). charlie On 19 Sep 2004 18:48:16 -0700, (valerie) wrote: A friend of mine's DR. told him that biking is a good form of exercise during the period of a healing stress fracture in his foot.
