10 months post sacral stress fracture

Health/Nutrition

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
