Do you need DR care for stress Fx.?

I have had problem with left foot for sometime now and suddenly after a very small jump it is back to hurting pretty bad!! I have no swelling, bruising, no obvious signs of anything other than poss. stress Fx. I know that when they Dx you with Stress Fx. they most of time just give you a special shoe or a boot to wear. Is it poss that stress Fx can get worse if left untreated?

Do you need DR care for stress Fx.?
yes, you should have it looked at by a podiatrist. if you wish to continue to treat at home check out a great website, myfootshop.com. it has several articles regarding foot conditions and products to help out. they also have a discussion forum with a doctor. use the source as direct link to articles
Reply:Yes I have had 2 in my right foot and 1 in my left foot this year, and I noticed that when I do alot of activity my foot begins to hurt, I immidiately try to cut the activities and lay lo on that foot, because I get these fractures just by bending over to pick or move something. Be very careful , I feel for you.
