I'm coming back from a fibula stress fracture; I've been running for 4 weeks and there is still some swelling (not so much muscular swelling, but the bone has a slight 'bump' on it which I presume is callus material). Before this 4 weeks I took about 8 weeks off for the SF. How long is it normal for there to be this swelling. I haven't felt any pain in the area for 2-3 weeks; the first two weeks or so of running it was tender to strong touch but not painful when running. Oh yeah, the area in question is my distal fibula, a couple inches above the ankle. I'm contemplating going to the doctor in a few more weeks if the swelling isn't gone? Thanks for the help!
