Front of shin about 10cm up
X-ray results on Thursday reckon mri or bone scan will follow.
What kind of treatment did you have?
Alf0nse-
No real treatment - I just waited for it to heal. That's all you can do with a stress fracture really.
Sounds like it might hopefully not be one in your case though - maybe it's shin splints? In my experience of a tibia stress fracture, the pain was felt on the outside of the shin. I hear shin splints normally affect the front of the bone.

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.
