Dear Respected Doctor, I feel I have stress fracture ( Shin Bone Pain ). I have swelling at spot and feel pain when I touch it. It start when I start running and goes away after taking rest for a week or two. It comes back to life once I start running and can feel pain below knee and above ankle. Do I need to go for some test or taking rest along with exercise is fine in this situation? I have changed my shoes recently but no help.
