Have had targeted shin pain for the past ~15 days and got it looked at by my physical therapist. He felt really strongly about it being a medial tibia stress fracture. I'm trying to avoid having to get an MRI since it's so costly even with my insurance, but thought some imaging may be helpful. I know x-rays don't always show stress fractures, but my PT thought since it had been a couple weeks it might and at least would be a more cost effective place to start. Has anyone had it show up after 2-3 weeks on an x-ray? Thank you!
