And not that it’s the same injury, but a nice reminder of how someone can overcome structural damage to the body is Jordan’s broken foot in his second season in the league.

You really think Wall is “running over a hundred miles a week at a tough pace without proper rest and nutrition”? (if you have done that, and weren’t surving in some miliary action, see a psycologist) Kurt is right for once, a “stress fracture”, is exactly what it says it is. A fracture from a bone having too much stress. When it’s in a joint, like a knee for example, it’s not a good sign long term. When the person who has it is 22 years old, and runs for a living, it could be an ominous sign.

Stress fractures. You mean a common injury of youth athletes? I can name over a dozen of kids I knew growing up that had stress fractures from several different sports.

A stress fracture is simply a sign that you’re doing something wrong. Like running over a hundred miles a week at a tough pace without proper rest and nutrition. Something I have done.
