David - high frequency ultrasound:
Both a podiatrist and a physio told me that if you run an ultrasound probe over the painful area whilst on a high frequency, and sharp pain is illicited, then it is a positive sign for a stress fracture.
Frank - why am I not so sure it is compartment syndrome?
Because there is pain primarily on the tibia, and far less so in the muscular area.
I'm not saying I'm right, but that is why I was 'not so sure'
Tanks to everyone fpr their input, please keep ideas coming and I'll post back when I have results and (hopefully) successful treatment.
