Can an MRI detect a stress fracture sooner than the 2 weeks or that it takes to show on an x-ray?
I've developed a pain similar to a shin splint only higher and more towards the back of the calf. After a 12 mile run I can't put weight on it for 24 hours and walk with a limp for another 48 hours. This has been gradually getting worse for 2 weeks. Doctor requested an MRI after the xray was inconclusive. Should have the results tomorrow.
It started a week or so after a minor bike wreck so I think the MRI may be to verify no blood clots. Just curious if anyone has had experience with an MRI for sfx, usually it's xray and bone scan.
Supposed to be racing IMFL next month, the timing stinks.
