Is it alright to do squats with a stress fracture? I quit running. I want to lift weights until I heal.?

Answers:

First time marathon?

Where's the fracture? I'm going to say no, definitely not, even without knowing... No leg lifts either.

I'm guessing it's in your lower leg? Put a lot of weight and strain on a stress fracture and you could turn it into a compound/complex fracture. I wouldn't chance it. That kind of injury takes a lot longer to heal!

No, it is still a load factor on the bone. You should not be doing any work that puts weight or stress on the bone. Try stationary bike, swimming, maybe elliptical.

Please help!?

where is the fracture. to be honest with you; what you are doing is not wise. if you want to workout do core (ab) work. i would rest and heel. it will get worse if you continue doing squats
