i believe my male friend has had a pubis ramus stress fracture that has also caused some nerve damage via nerve impingement. Muscle activation with right glute, right gastrocs and right hamstrings is minimal. bladder control is minimal. some numbness and tingling in left foot. Anyone have similar experience?

Hello! I have been suffering from a strss injury on my left pubic ramus. The pain has been unbearable at times. I beleive it was from pregnancy/chilbirth, and then jogging did not help. I just got my MRI results today, so i am trying to lppk into the healing process. It seems rest and crutches is what helps? Thank you for sharing Jodi, i appreciate it. I am looking forward to getting this taken care of!

I too suffered from a pubic ramus fracture two years ago, and after having my daughter four months ago, I’m again experiencing pain as I am trying to get back into running. It’s on both sides. I started taking Glucosamine DS, but wondered if anyone has heard if this is supposed to help. My knee dr. recommended trying it. (I’ve had five knee surgeries, but have running “in my blood.”)

I was diagnosed in early June 2008 with a left inferior pubic ramus stress fracture. I had pain on both right and left side several weeks after the MRI. I took 5 weeks off after the initial diagnosis and tried to swim and bike for 2 weeks, but the pain was too much. I’ve done NO exercise since 8.2.08. As of 10.26.08, I’m still dealing with it. My pain has gone away, but I still feel like I’ve got inflammation. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

Jodi,
I am 55 and have been running for about a year and really enjoying it until I got two stress fractures of the public ramus. I was wondering what all you did for healing. I still have pain walking after 8 weeks. My orthopedic doctor did not suggest crutches and I do have to walk a lot being a teacher. Did you take anything particularly to help with your healing? I want to think I can run some again. I want to heal as quick as I can. Running was the first sport I really enjoyed and could do with my husband.

P.S…i once read a small article on pronaters and suponaters….that people who are pronaters tend to have stress fracture more than suponaters…does any one know of this???

Well, here’s your first male with a stress fracture of the superior pubic ramus. Starting in April, I ramped up my training for an 18 mile trail race with the help of a running coach. The onset of symptoms kicked in right after my first hill sprint day. (Aug.) I am supposed to use crutches for a month, then no running until January. My biggest concern is how to keep it from happening again….

after 6 weeks of thinking I had a pulled groin muscle, the MRI shows a pubic ramus stress fracture. I am so sick! No running for 8 weeks. I was in training for the Disney Marathon. I was wondering did you ever run in the pool? If so, were you able to stay in shape? The thoughts of no aerobic exercise for 8 weeks is killing me. I am devasted!!!
