In basic training I was diagnosed with a level 3 stress fracture. Unit pushed me to stay off temporary profile to take PT tests and such, but after successful PT tests or when the pain gets too bad I go in to the doctor, get a bone scan, and confirm it is still there, when it should have healed by this time last year. Never been sent to physical therapy, and not even in an extremely hooah unit, only do 3-5 mile runs 3 days a week, quarterly 5 mile ruck. Concerned if I don't press for a meb board it will end up breaking completely when we deploy. I have heard of medboards for stress fractures lasting over 6 months, but not sure what to do. Can't even find a rating for stress fractures, is a full fracture all they consider or something?
Pain continues to shins and feet, possible plantar faciitis, and all are present on one side, though one is worse than the other.
Any advice? Search of forums turned up little.
