10 months post sacral stress fracture
Question
How long until no more phantom pain? What about weak muscles do to the fracture? Need any possible guidance from those that have gone through this nasty injury
Background
Right sacral stress fracture in March 2025. Most likely due to a combination of increased load first months of 25 and aggressively losing weight same time
Return back was slow and a pushed the limits a lot
Started hiking in June, did the TMB in August with no real problems
Started jogging in September, did a 50k end of September and 100k beginning of October, don’t ask why but barely jogged in either. I was fine after
Then started the running build back, beginning of November had a pretty big scare, and got a CT scan and was seen by doc, everything was fine
Since then, ramped up very slowly, everything was normal, until last Saturday (first of the year). I hadn’t increased much week over week but still something started feeling different
Current symptoms
Warm on both sides of buttocks
Some soreness when sitting
Seems ok when walking or standing
Did a 11 mile flat road run yesterday and during the run it was fine, but hasn’t felt great since it was over
Just looking for some re assurance that this is normal
