stay off of it for a while. stress fractures are from abnormal stresses on normal bone. you need to take the stress away in order for the bone to heal. either in a CAM boot and crutches cast.
Get 6-8 weeks of rest and then come back slowly. The bone in which you got the stress fracture should be entirely back to normal, if not even a little stronger. I've had 2 metatarsal stress fractures and been able to come back from both of them.
You may want to try increasing your running cadence when you start running again. The doctor recommended that I start doing that after the last one I had. I haven't been running again long enough to see if it works, but it's supposed to lessen the force of impact that you have while running.
