    hi so i have searched and searched but i can't seem to find conclusive results on how much time off from running is needed from a stress reaction...

    i went in to my doctor after feeling a tender spot in my left medial tibia bone area and then he ordered a MRI b/c he was worried of a possible stress fracture...so 2 wks later I get this MRI and it turns out that it is a 'stress reaction'. which is less severe than a stress fracture, right? and walking/swimming/biking/hopping on the injured leg does not produce any pain any more and I can't really find a tender spot either...SO. the big question: WHEN CAN I RUN AGAIN?? i have a marathon in mid-april...

    Stress reactions tend to be 2-6 weeks depending on location from what i've read. I had one in tibia, took 4 weeks, went back running, came back at me within a week, took another 6 weeks off, which did the trick. I wish i had just been extracautious and given it 5-6weeks initially. My advice, give it at least another week and be SURE it's fixed before starting back, stay on grass and alternate days running/xtraining for first few weeks, and thereafter then build up slowly. Good luck!
