Hello Friends,
Can anybody recommend an orthopedic doctor in/around Boston that you know has solid experience in dealing with leg/tibia stress fractures? Mine is believed to have occurred from a combination of running & hiking (mostly running).
I haven't hiked for five months due to this darn thing! I'd love to finish my last 8 4k's of New Hampshire this year if I can get this thing to finally start healing. So far, I've had no luck - even with casts, bone stimulators, calcium supplements, improved diet, physical therapy and complete lack of activity.
Normally I wouldn't have posted this on this forum as it's only slightly hiking related, but I'm out of options. Nobody has given me a great lead yet (I've seen two orthopedic doctors and they both have a lousy history in regards to stress fractures - one is already suggesting putting a metal rod through my leg )
I'm going out of my mind.....
