tibial stress fracture
Yep, had one of those. Where is it on the shin? Front or inside of the shin bone? How high above the ankle?
When I went to the doctor I got referred for an X-ray initially. Usually this won't show much so it's best to get an MRI if you can.
It's fine to cycle or do other cross training if there's no pain. Avoid running. I was out for about 6 weeks.

Anyone got any experience with tibial stress fractures? Off to the quack in a minute to get it looked at.
Last real run was 9th march and what felt like a dull shin pain turned very spikey feeling. I rested it for a fortnight ran 5k and it came back worse.
I can ride a bike without pain, but I can't walk more than 300metres.
So...how long do these take to fix?
