I don't really have an answer for you but I have the same problem. I was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the tibia almost 2 years ago. I spent about 6 months in a cast up to my hip. and then went through a series of smaller casts. In the end my old doctor said it was healed. A few months ago, I started getting the same aching pain in my shin, so I got more xrays and now my new doctor is telling me there is still a small stress fracture there. I am supposed to get a bone stimulator, but it will cost me $2800 dollars for the co-pay. I have drastically changed my diet, quit smoking, had acupuncture, and tried every other thing to help heal this. Do you think the bone stimulator would be worth the money for me? Have you had any improvement? I hear a lot of good things about them for the tibia, but it's a lot of cash. I hope you heal soon and get back to what you love to do.
