I just started being athletic again after a long layoff with a tibia stress fracture. I've been biking lately and doing some things like playing basketball. It doesnt hurt too much but whenever im done doing something, i will feel the area and notice an enormous amount of crunching and grinding, while im like massaging the area..there is also just a bit of discomfort too. any help is appriciated or personal stories! thanks

I'm just getting back into running after an extended SF layoff, and I also notice the same sypmtoms you speak of, lots of "snow" in the injury area and discomfort, though it's not nearly as localized as when I first injured it. Do a search on here for your specific injury and you should find some old posts containing the info you need. It's too bad that people here aren't more helpful when a runner has an actual legitimate question, but that hotness threads and others of the like get hundreds of responses. Good luck and have patience with your injury.
I have had two stress fractures in each tibia. I knew I was ready to start running again when I could walk for an hour without pain. Also, you should be able to hop on the injured leg without pain. Here is the program I used when starting back up again.

Do your injuries hurt when it rains? I'm just returning from a stress fracture, and it doesn't hurt when I am running, but if it is about to rain, I can really feel it.
yes, i do feel an extra ache when it is raining(or about to rain). I think it has something to do with heavier atmospheric pressure
