Regarding Rome comments: With many foot stress fractures, especially in high-level athletes, the body creates extra bone and scar tissue (sometimes referred to as callus formation) around the fracture site during healing. While that's a normal part of recovery, it can slightly alter the shape, stiffness, or mechanics of the foot. Now over time the foot CAN be reshaped close to, if not back to, it's original form but it is not guaranteed. -The fracture has healed and he's able to play. -He isn't necessarily dealing with ongoing pain. -The structure of the foot is now a little different than it was pre-injury. -Because of those changes, the way the foot moves, loads, and feels is different. -Rather than waiting for it to feel exactly like it did before the fracture, he's accepted that this is his "new normal." For football players, this is actually pretty common after significant foot stress fractures. The goal is often not to make the foot feel exactly like it did before the injury, but to restore enough strength, mobility, and load tolerance that the athlete can perform at a high level without symptoms or increased risk of reinjury. A player can be fully cleared and highly effective while still noticing that the injured foot feels different than the uninjured side. #DaBears
