My lad is in the forces and got 2 stress fractures and kept going including a 5 day excercise carrying 70KG.
Developed into a broken bone on one.
currently in rehab they’ve said 5-6 weeks.
2 for stress.
Probably same level of fitness,but without the contact.
They eye on the side of caution due to heavy weights and amount of punishment the foot takes,but said it’s getting the fitness back that’s the problem.
