The doctor examined my leg and said it appeared that the muscle was most likely strained and not torn. Great news! As I was about to hop off the table, he says "but looking at your X-ray, you do have multiple stress fractions of the upper leg bone". As my jaw drops, I ask how serious the situation is. He replies "well, it's not normal"....pause....(and then in a disgusted voice)..."unless you're a runner".
