I came upon your blog while doing research on my recent injury- stress fracture of the right pubic ramus. I am curious how you are doing now and how long it took you to heal? Also how long before you could run again. I was training on a treadmill as you were and was running intervals when I had the exact pain as you did and thought I strained my groin/hamstring. Bone scan proved to be a stress fracture instead. Any help or advice you can provide would be great. I’m curious did swimming bother your injury? I have been trying to swim w/out kicking and it seems to be ok….

Came upon your blog while randomly looking up information on the injury I was just dealt, stress fracture of the pubic ramus. I run Division One Cross Country for the University at Buffalo, and I’ve been spending my summer in Pittsburgh training and taking classes at UPitt. It was a crushing blow when the doctor said “stress fracture”. I’ve never been injured before, and something like this seems to be a rare and sticky situation, especially in men. I’m starting physical therapy today, and hopefully doing some cross training. Although, I have felt pain in my left pelvic region when aquajogging and biking, so that’s not too promising. The case may vary person to person, but the doctor told me to expect 8-12 weeks for full healing. Just wanted to say hang in there, because I know how hard it can be to deal with injury.
