Is my healing timeline realistic?

I was just doing a telemedicine visit with a runner who needed a second opinion for a metatarsal stress fracture.  She wanted to know if her healing timeline was accurate and if her estimate on getting back to running was realistic.  The healing timeline for any running injury always depends upon is what you do. Not what your read, and not what your doctor said.  The “realistic” part is based on what you do, not arbitrary timelines. Today the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about whether or not your healing timeline is realistic.
