Has anyone dealt with a femoral stress fracture? If so, what did you do for cardio/strength while you couldn't run and how long did you have to take off before you could run pain free again? My dr said min of 4 weeks to heal. My PT says 2-3 months. Am at week 6 and just very impatient. He never had me on crutches, I've been riding the bike and doing the PT exercises and stretches they gave me but I feel like some days are better and some worse. And I feel like I'm no where near the point of running again :'( some days my leg feel completely fine walking ect. Last night I was on my feet for 12 hrs for work and my entire quad feels achy today. I just don't feel like it should be this achy 6 weeks out! So I'm hoping there are some out there that have experience with healing. Thanks
