STRESS FRACTURES IN FEMALE RUNNERS
Report #6635
Forty-five percent of competitive female runners develop stress fractures, small cracks on the surface
of the bones in their legs and feet. The women most likely to suffer these injuries are
those who restrict food and those who have irregular periods.
Restricting food can stop a woman from menstruating regularly, which can stop her body
from producing the female hormone, estrogen. Lack of estrogen weakens bones. Exercise does
not cause irregular periods, not eating enough food does. Women who stop menstruating when
they exercise heavily will usually start to menstruate regularly when they eat more food.
Some women who suffer stress fractures will not heal until they take estrogen or other
bone strengthening medications such as etidronate.
Stress fractures usually start out as a minor discomfort in the foot or leg, that
occurs near the end of a long run. Usually the pain goes away as soon as the athlete stops
running. On the next day, the pain returns earlier in the run. If she notices that it
hurts to touch just one spot on a bone and then stops running for a week, she can return
to running quickly, but usually she ignores the pain and develops a full- blown stress
fracture and hurts all the time. She now has to avoid the hard pounding of running, but
can ride a bike or swim for exercise until the fracture heals in 6 to 12 weeks. The most
common sites for stress fractures are the bones in the front of the feet, and the long
bone of the lower leg, but running can cause stress fractures anywhere, even in the pelvic
bones. I often prescribe bone strengthening medications such as Fosamax or Evista to people with stress fractures that do not heal in six months.
