Stress Fractures - Frustrated Us Marine!!!
Posted: 04-23-07 02:19am

I am in the Marine Corps and all my training is on hold because of a stress fracture to the left pubis ramus. In the meantime, I am home for 30 days, now I have 2 weeks left, and the lack of physical training, I have gained weight. I can't stand it anymore. This not doing anything to heal business...I feel lazy.

Can someone who knows anything about this kind of injury tell me what, if anything I can do to help strengthen my physical self. Is swimming ok? The Docs back on base don't provide any info. They just prescribe drugs and tell you to rest. There's GOT to be SOMETHING I can do to help speed up the process AND get some sort of exercise in.

thanks

ALSO..I have stress fractures in both my feet...the 4th metatarsal or something like that.
