Hi all,
I am a runner/hiker/climber/skier who developed a stress fracture in my 2nd metatarsal of my left foot. (That's the bone that leads into my pointer toe, or the toe next to my big toe.) I only recently found out it was a stress fracture after trying to rehab it myself for 2 months. I am having a walking boot put on it next Tuesday and will be in that for 6 weeks (please shower me with sympathy ).
Does anyone have personal experience, or can recommend exercises I can do with this? I have been told to keep weight off it for now and have been doing pull-ups and crunches.
Also, ideas for building back fitness after getting out? Obviously, it must be gradual and careful.
PS I have been keeping my foot in my mountaineering boots for the past week to keep it as immobilized as possible... just thought people might find that funny since I'm limping around the house.
