Listen Later

This episode actually comes from Eryn and she's somebody who was listening to the Doc On The Run podcast and then sent in a question.

She said that she was 10 weeks out after getting a dancer's fracture in the fifth metatarsal while she was trying to qualify for Boston and getting ready.

What she said is, "I'm one week in using my EXOGEN bone stimulator one time a day for 20 minutes. I heard you say that you had a runner who healed after two weeks using the device."

She also wanted to know about, "What else was your patient doing? Did they follow the standard protocol? Was he taking any supplements or other treatment to help the bone?"
