My DD has been diagnosed with a lumbar spine stress fracture. She will have an MRI in the coming days to confirm the diagnosis, but the Ortho felt pretty confident based on her history and the x-ray. Looking at six weeks of total shut down and a back brace and then probably six weeks of rehab. Obviously, she is bummed that she is probably looking at missing the entire fall ball season and her school golf season. I'm disappointed because we have tried to give her rest and make sure she's playing more than just softball but still had an overuse injury occur.
From my reading, this seems like a fairly common injury for young girls. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? I'd take some comfort in hearing your stories and what to expect.
Thanks.
