| Dansk | 4 days | Vilade från löpning några dagar och då gick det över. | details |
| davelevine | 8 days | I think this problem was caused by continuing to exercise after I was feeling sore. Rest and using crutches, not using the foot as much as possible helped speed recovery along. | details |

| Trailrat | 11 days | Wasn't a stress fracture but a deep bruise. Stress fractures don't go away this quickly. | details |

| CleverSky | 23 days | Waited it out: stayed off of pavement, and took a bit of a break from running at all. I did have one serious relapse where it hurt a lot, but as of the 12th, it seems like I can run (on soft surfaces, anyway) without any pain. | details |
| Manfred | 28 days | Running with wrong technique hence having flat feet which gave extra pressure to my R-ankle. | details |

| OL_Tony | 33 days | Voet tegen een openstaande deur gestoten. kleine teen uit de kom en kleine fractuur. | details |
| Thibaut | 35 days | Enfin plus ou moins rétablis (premier footing sans douleur)... Pourvu que ça dure | details |
| HiipiväHirvi | 37 days | Kuukausi juoksematta | details |
| tinytoes | 39 days | burpees and sudden pressure at flex. Very quick realisation and ceasing pressure. | details |
| Adh007 | 40 days | Not sure if I'm truly recovered, might just be less noticeable with the current reduction in running volume. That said, a lower running volume seems to work well for me as long as I maximize the quality of the running that I do. | details |
| tinytoes | 42 days | Over use in summer; orthotics updated afterwards. Caught it early and iced it as well as stretching and easing of usage.Need to be more diligent on stretching, not just when injured. | details |

| jtruns | 48 days | No running for 4.5 weeks, ice to start to reduce swelling. I was able to ride the bike two weeks after injury | details |
| immy | 50 days | Don't run in inov8s alone for a month in terrain that's harder than you're used to. That's all I have to say. | details |

| Cookieboi | 55 days | Trying to run long distances on hard packed trail with no long distance running for a month. Also still just getting into running so probably just a build up of 6 months of intensive training without a running base training/fitness | details |
| nmulder | 56 days | Lasted a long time and slow recovery. Started running again at the end of April. Injury is probably related as well to right anterior tibialis shin pain (scar tissue?) from late 2021 AR season, same cause as the plantar fasciitis of 2022. | details |

| CleverSky | 69 days | Well, it never really went away, but maybe I got used to it, or something. In the end, I'm not certain it was a stress fracture, and maybe it was the foot collapse problem that plagued Dad for the latter portion of his life. But stuffing cotton or foam wedge things under my arch seems to have helped somewhat, so I'll try continuing with that. | details |

| Päkä | 97 days | Ylipronaatio, yhdistettynä löysään nilkkaan ja yksipuoliseen juoksuharjoitteluun aiheutti. Nyt yritetään jumpata nilkkaa ja jalkoja muutenkin ettei vamma uusiutuisi taas. Spesiaalipohjalliset myös käytössä. | details |

| swolfe | 111 days | Out of the cast on 10/30. Lots of ice, NSAID's and PT helped me to recover. I still have some soreness and mild discomfort, but that is to expected with a broken bone. body work, ankle mobility and range of motion is key in recovery. | details |

| sosew | 113 days | Finally got an xray and referral to a Podiatrist. Have a bunion on right foot that cause me to overpronate that foot putting stress on the base on my second toe (fractured) and possibly third too as well. Also top of foot from tying shoe too tight (laces wont stay tied on my Saucony trail shoes. Recommended shoes Brooks Addictions and Asics Kayano for running along with recommendation for orthopedic insoles. Got the Brooks at Tortoise and the Hare (doctor recommended) and the Orthopedic... | details |
| mickyclifford | 121 days | Feels back to normal now. Slowly build running back up. Perhaps caused by too many milkes than I was ready for, not enough recovery and decent sleep, not staying on top of niggles and strength work. Pehaps there was already a minor fracture months before as I'd felt some minor pain when running uphill on the treadmill at certasin inclines and in certain trainers, and also when wearing shoes with little cushioning on rocky decents. | details |

| tinytoes | 136 days | Now in rehab. Never acknowledged it as injured except while orienteering. Extremely tight calf muscles were the major contributors, plus wearing incorrect orthotics. (both now rectified). | details |
| EmmaC | 151 days | Caused by too much road running! | details |
| JonD | 164 days | i am going to mark this as complete and hope for the best. I feel some weakness in the ankle and some "clicking" when I rotate it, but I think the 5 weeks off running has helped. I was never completely convinced of the stress fracture diagnosis - this felt more like the tendonitis I had in my knee. Note from 7/19/2008 - Exercising this ankle w/ focus on strengthening it ("alphabet" plus 20 seconds raised foot) has helped a lot | details |
| Bridge | 166 days | 1. Build miles slowly 2. Wear good shoes 3. Recover 4. DON'T BE A DUMBASS 5. Have fun | details |
