Good Care
If you're an athlete or a fitness enthusiast, you should pay close attention to your body's warning signs. Fatigue and pain are usually a signal that you're pressing too hard. Be sure to stretch thoroughly before your work-out, and stop before you're exhausted.

Stress injuries can also result from poor muscle balance, lack of flexibility or because of weakness in soft tissues cause by previous injuries. These injuries to the muscle, bone ligaments, and tendons may require a prolonged amount of time to heal in spite of appropriate care.

Consult your orthopaedic surgeon for treatment of these soft tissue and bone injuries. Besides treating the problem, he or she can develop a program of exercise or rehabilitation to restore function.
