Good morning sir/mam, I am an army aspirant whenever I run more to increase my stamina, my leg (tibia) bone starts to pain in both my legs but pain in right one is unbearable. So I usually have to take rest for 5-6 days. 2 days back I consulted an orthopedist, he told me there is micro fracture also known as stress fracture in your tibia bone and you have to stop running for the rest of your life and have to think of something else as a career optn. Army is not for you! And it can't be treated. Is it true? Or should I consult another orthopedist?
