My Forum

Did a short individual soccer practice yesterday, got some pain whilst doing it but wasn't so bad a few hours after, i will do my second practice tomorrow (less intense practice).

Btw, i can run 1 km until i get pain.

I don't have any history of stress fractures, my doc (doctor of the swedish national athletics team) said that it was not very likely for me to develop stress fractures even if i continue running.

I don't have the motivation to start slowly once again, but if i am able to play with pain and not getting stress fractures, that would be perfect.

Tom, if i increase the length of my runs gradually and slowly by 1 km at a time (once per week) and still get a little sore, is that usual or should i just stop? Do you know how big the risk of stress fractures are if you keep on running with pain?

Edit: and what happens if you keep on running with the pain?

Hello, i will after 1,5 years of fighting and trying everything to fix my shins ignore the pain and just keep on running with painkillers (playing soccer). From what my doctor said, it's not very likely that i will get stress fractures from this.

Has anyone else done this? How did it work out for you?

Other than that i'll update this thread after some months.
