[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1929657, member: 25133"] Wrong! Ligament would be a sprain. Muscles and tendons would be a strain. You can not "fracture" those. A "stress fracture" is the layman's term for an avulsion fracture (spelling is off-too many years since school). This is where the tendon has pulled away from the bone taking some of the bone with it. Bet'cha this week's check the Doc took an x-ray and didn't see anything so he/she slapped a boot on it and said come back in 2-3 weeks. Expect an MRI if there is no change in 3 weeks. I suggest you find a good lower extremity Orthopedist. [/QUOTE]
